The Sam Bat was in Barry Bonds’ hands when he hit 73 home runs and broke the all-time record for home runs in Major League Baseball. In the late 90’s most MLB bats were made of ash – the Sam Bat was the first made of maple, which has supplanted ash as the wood of choice for pro players. Today, Sam continues to produce maple bats for the major leagues, the minor leagues, and anyone else who wants to buy one.
