Unironically they should allow aluminum bats for the home run derby or something like that
I want to see how far the balls can go

Back then there was a much larger difference between wood and aluminum than there is today

It’s a crime that they went to the trouble of making this and yet didn’t include one shot of McGwire or Canseco actually hitting a ball with an aluminum bat.

Could you imagine aluminum bats today??? Pitchers gonna have Vietnam flashbacks every time they see a baseball.

I know this video is a joke, but I did read an article recently that concluded that metal bats did increase performance, but mostly by being more forgiving of missing the sweet spot. Otherwise, the main factor was still mostly player skill.
