“I get a lot of questions about which bat I used to use. Well, here is the answer. Louisville Slugger C271L triple dipped in black latte, which makes the wood a lot harder and tighter. 34/32 with my big hand, it really feels too thick hitting a baseball on good days. On bad days, well, it did not matter. You were not gonna hit anyway,” A-Rod said.
