He claimed that he used the bat for batting practice to amuse the fans and make them "ouuuuuuuu and ahhhhhhhhh." He claimed the bats got mixed up with his "regular" bats. Really who cares, he probably is not the only one and will not be the last. Maybe MLB needs to approve all equiptment before it comes to the field with some kind of stamp or marker. But that would cost money and will never be allowed by the Player's Association.
