Grant wrote a long piece on bats for ComcastSportsNet BayArea. It’s his first extended feature. He interviewed a bunch of major leaguers about their bats — which make and model they use and why. He asked if they share bats or don’t, if they use more than one model. He gives figures on how much a team spends on bats and how many bats each player has and he gives a great story about Rico Carty — remember him? — and a classic about Barry Bonds I never heard before.
