How about one good hickory or ash bat?

Don't worry, Farnsworth will get his. His poor outings with the Tigers will cost him millions in free agency money. Even though he will still get paid bank, just the thought of the millions he will lose is sufficient enough.

During the game where we got blown out by the O's, I wish they would have put him in and left him in. THAT would have been an excellent way to humble that crybaby. He would be saying, "I don't wanna play in Detroit..." in his sleep!

Well, as long as the bats are birch or ash, and the balls new.
