Where's the ash?
2007-07-11 13:51
by Bob Timmermann

Baseball bat makers are worried that the supply of ash could be hurt by the arrival of the ash borer beetle in the forests of North America, according to a New York Times article.

“No more ash?” said Juan Uribe, a Chicago White Sox shortstop, whose batting coach says he speaks to his ash bats every day. Uribe is so finicky about his bats, teammates say, that he stores them separately in the team’s dugout and complains bitterly if anyone else touches them.

Uribe has other problems with ash. He's at 232/288/360 this season.

Uribe doesn't want just any piece of ash he wants a nice piece of ash. Don't we all?

The ash holes always ruin all the fun.

That's why I make all my bats out of the lightning-struck trees in my front yard.
