And to clarify this one so there’s not further speculation from your comment…

• Pujols (and many other players) have historically used a bat of a certain wood that, performance wise is deemed no different than any other wood type, but recently was decided was too dangerous versus other types of wood because of the way they splintered when broken.
• anyone using that bat before the decision would be grandfathered in and allowed to continue to use that wood, but no one could begin to use that wood who hadn’t before
• Pujols was included in the list of players exempted because he had been using it before the ban
• Martin was in a slump at some point this season and Pujols sent him a bat saying it helped him break his slumps, so essentially sending good luck
• Martin used this bat

So there’s no story here. Pujols didn’t realize Martin couldn’t use the bat, Martin didn’t realize either he couldn’t use it or what it’s wood type was, and it was called out and corrected. Non-story.

Oh buddy, as much as I also want to call out racism, you’re gonna have to unfortunately get outta sports if this is your line. It’s everywhere.
