I think Jeffers could be using one, but don't quote me on that

When I saw the MLB post about this on Facebook, I honestly thought it was a picture of RFK Jr instead of Manfred

Jeffers is using one, has been all year.  The Yankees do not have some exclusive right to the bats or anything, they just got most of their players to use it.  There is nothing wrong with using it.  If it was say the A's or some other small market team no one would care and say things like good for them way to think outside the box.  But because it is the Yankees people are mad.  I hate the Yankees about as much as anyone, but I got no issue with the bats as they are legal.  Good for them in thinking outside the box to get an edge.  I remember when the axe handle bat came out it got some press, but because the HR numbers with torpedo bat it went crazy.  You still need to put the barrel on the ball.
