If folks really knew how much it takes to have the bat crack at the barrel and
fly apart, think people would worry way less and why Im always a little more relaxed
on cracks in bats or whatever. Im NOT saying the bat should be in play when cracked,
but its not going to split apart on one swing and kill someone like people think...haha.
I actually did this with a couple bats just for the hell of it. They were already cracked in the barrel pretty good.
I started hitting the things to see what it would take. Man, im telling you...its like a rope...one thread breaks
but all the others are holding on. I hit those things til the upper half of the bat was dangling from the part
my hands were holding and I don't swing light. The top finally let loose after many, many swings past what
even an insane person would hit a bat looking like that would.
