So this should have gone unreported? This is not news?
The article I read didn't intimate that his "prowess" was a result of a corked bat but rather that he may have used one as his skills began to wane.

I don't care that it was reported. I find it laughable that two decades after Mantle died somebody is coming out and saying "he cheated". I know little about the auction house, but I have seen people call their scruples into question.
Who knows what has been done to that bat since it left his hands. Give me a Babe Ruth bat, and internet access, and I can shove a cork in his bat, too. I just think it's absurd to insinuate that one of the greatest power hitters the game has ever seen somehow benefited from a corked bat. It's amusing to me.
