Reply to "Article on bats in San Diego Paper"

Take a closer look at this disgusting business...there are many other websites offering this kind of shady garbage than just "batrolling4u"; however, they look typical.

Whether true or not, they are claiming that rolling and shaving also works on non-composite aluminum bats and they brag that they carry stock of BBCOR certified and Little League approved bats that have been juiced.

If you consider the parallels between this type of cheating pressure and the 'roid phenomenon is it really any wonder that the popularity of baseball has been dropping off steadily over the decades?

People obviously want to see great offense and great pitching, but much more than that I think most of us want to be able to know we're watching or playing a game that is basically honest...conducted on an even playing field for all contestants at every level of play.

I've heard the old saw, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'" as many times as anyone. Some trivial, quaint types of cheats that players use do make for very funny baseball stories but the 'roid era and the doctored metal bat epidemic are not good for baseball.
