Update: Minor leaguer traded for baseball bats
A few days ago, the Laredo Broncos of the United League acquired pitcher John Odom from the Calgary Vipers of the Golden Baseball League for the unlikely price of 10 Prairie Sticks Maple Bats, double-dipped black, 34-inch, C243 style. (Original story here)
Odom is expected to be activated today and is scheduled to make his first start on Saturday against the Edinburg Coyotes at Veterans Field.
No word from Calgary on the bats, but after seeing at least 12 maple bats shatter in the three MLB games I watched on TV this weekend, I'm guessing that there aren't many left.

The unawswered question - is there a connection between the maple bats and Theo Fleury's minor league debut?
