Canseco regains his power with the new bat – By Jim Proudfoot “ The Sam Bat was approved by baseball headquarters for 1998 and Jose Canseco gives it a share of the credit for the restoration of his long lost power.” Canseco: “This is a harder wood. The ball travels further off of it. … The old bat dents when you make good contact, which means energy is being absorbed and you can feel it vibrate when you connect. With the Sam Bat, more of the power I generate is transferred to the ball. So it Carries better.”
