Tanner looks like a complete liar,he continues to make excuses on why the bat was hott.I think Leggett from Clemson took the high road unlike Tanner and made a simple call to "clear the air".I have no idea how racism is a factor? After all Leggett is a "Yankee" and we know racism is a "Southern thing".I doubt it will be the last time bats will be checked in any game with South Carolina or Clemson involved.
Here is all you need to know about Jack.
This is a quote from baseball America.
"Leggett dodged questions about whether or not warming bats was a legitimate practice."
He made the accusation, grandstanded , and tried to humiliate a kid.
When he was exposed for not knowing the rules of baseball he pretended it never happened.
He is a joke. And for anyone to defend is sad indeed.

Maybe Jack will protest the fact that Carolina uses gloves next year.
"Hey ump can his glove be leather?"

there is no excuse needed.
THE BAT CAN BE HOT!!!!!!!!!
How is racism a factor?
Well you would have to ask Jack why the ONLY homer called out was the one hit by the black kid.
CHeck the bats , that's fine. I get it.
But check them for something legitimate. And then answer the questions.
He knew he didn't have a gripe. He just tried to humiliate that kid.
Period. Jack is just a sore loser. Emphasis on loser.
And not because of anything Carolina/clemson

A PR nightmare for Leggett and clempson.
He shows racism.
Targets players, individual players. That is as classless as it gets.
Besides the clemsux fans hate him too.
He is not a "big game" coach. He got his ear chewed off by clempson fans in the two losses this week.

There is NO hypocrisy in what Tanner did.
He asked what the issue was on Sunday, with Jack and the umps present.
Neither gave him an answer.
Jack owns this . He created it and we are not going to let him forget it in Columbia.
Ever.

Better look out.
Virginia is using Rawlings bats as well.

At least Tanner answered the question.
Leggett, grandstands a young athlete then pretends it never happened.
This entire episode is on the back of Leggett.

No he hadn't heard about heated bats.
Its not against the rules.
Jack Leggett is a racist P O S.
One word for you clempson folks and your heated bats.
