my bat

Back during grad school I bought a softball bat. Loved that thing...34" 30 oz signature model...Todd somebody. Anyway, kept it all these years until last season when I left it at the field and of course it disappeared. Right after Calvin had done a custom tape job. I ended up buying a new one but couldn't find a 30 oz one so had to settle for 28 oz. I can't complain as I hit .700 or so last season (my first season back) and was hitting almost .800 this season, starting out going 7 for 7. But tonight, lo and behold, I see this familiar bat against the fence. Yes, it made a comeback. Eric on our team had found it as it was left by another team. I tried it my 3rd and 4th at bat (single off the handle the first time, pop out the second time), then went back to my lighter bat. Turns out I might have a little less upper body strength than I had back then. Hmm...well, either get back to the gym or keep using the 28 oz bat.
