He's broke - that's oke

I was reading in Thursday’s USA Today about an increased prevalence of broken bats in the major leagues (possibly caused by the increased use of maple bats, although other factors including smaller bat handles might be causing it) and one of the games I managed to catch during my European sojourn involved Youkilis at 1st being forced to move out of the way of a broken bat piece… then I caught up with old baseball news and the news of Rick Helling’s forearm being impaled by a bat shard caught my eye. Man, makes me nervous about ever getting seats down the right-field line… not sure my reflexes would be fast enough to get out of the way!
