Summary

Today's word of the day is 'corked' as in a report came out about Pete Rose and the Expos putting them in bats. How true is this (0:08)? We take our first ever break so I can read an OPED from Scott Boras in the New York Times. He wrote about needing baseball back and that America needs it (7:27). Baseball has returned... in Korea. The KBO had its first game last night and gave a look at what a return to sports would look like. I had spoken with Dan Straily (former MLB pitcher) when he decided to head to Korea for the season this year (18:59). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about my comments on a developmental league and if it would be a crippling blow to the minors (28:30). Review - Cats (34:07). MLBeard Challenge Day 51: Sacramento (38:17). USWNT loses case for equal pay. Case dismissed by summary judgment. Rapinoe and Morgan say there will be an appeal. Let’s explain and say what’s next. #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:18.1	The famous court bats.
0:21.0	So a court back is bats are made of wood.
0:24.0	And what some people do in order to make the bat lighter
0:28.3	is they open up the bat, literally open up the bat,
0:31.3	they take out the middle of the wood,
0:33.3	and then they put cork in it.
0:35.3	So that makes it easier to swing because the goal is always
0:38.2	to swing a lighter bat because you can get the bat
0:41.0	through the zone faster.
0:43.1	It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with power.
0:46.0	It has to do with speed and getting the bat
