Former MLB Groundskeeper claims Pete Rose corked bats.

I would not be surprised that Pete was corking his bat, but I believe this story is bullshit.

You would need a band saw and a drill press to cork a bat. No team would ever have those pieces of equipment anywhere in a stadium. They are not small enough to be easily hidden away

Bats were not corked by equipment managers at stadiums.
