The place where Lil SF hits sometimes had a closeout bat sale. Last years models were more than half off. Lil SF doesn't need a bat. I actually bought him one last year because he actually needed one. The thing is, I love baseball stuff. Plus, I will never forget last year in his first game with a new bat. He had been struggling a bit and was using a smaller/lighter bat and coach suggested a new one. His first at bat he rough ridin' tomahawked a high pitch that went to the fence. Ran his little ass off and.....blew through the stop sign at third and got thrown out at home. Hammered one his next at bat as well and went on a nice run for the next several games. I got in his ass a bit for running through the sign, but wasn't too mad because I knew he was pumped for crushing one. New bat juice is a real thing.
