A big heavy bat. Started out using a 50oz bat. His 60 hr season he used a 40oz. Barry Bonds, by comparison, used a 32oz bat. A few guys up to the early 70s swung big bats--Dick Allen comes to mind, Reggie. Now they use tiny bats with tiny little handles. That's why they break so much.

They break all the time. America’s game ain’t what it used ta be... *sigh*... I’m still hooked, though.
