I don't know if they knew it back then but they have found in the last 10 or 15 years that corking a bat does NOT help with added distance. In fact, it REDUCES the distance a baseball flies. So, the ONLY way I can think a cork bat would help is if there are runners on base, the outfield is playing deep and a hitter connects and the ball goes further than the infield but in front of the outfielder.
