To restore was the answer to my question. With the help of a couple board members pointing me in the right direction (Matt & Nate) I got my Wenatchee Valley College Yaz Model 125 restored by Steve Abramson at BaseballBatRepair in Bangor, PA. This bat was so lifeless and pale it would make a goth fan envious. Now, it has new life breathed into the lumber. Simply a beautiful job and far less than estimates. Final cost $160, and worth every penny!
