Barry Bonds Now Has a Portable Humidor for His Bat

True story. If you remember during Spring Training, I told you that Bonds was finding a new manufacturer for his bats, and he settled on the Japanese company SSK. Well apparently Bonds is taking the lead from another Japanese player in requesting a portable humidor:
"Barry is very aware of the moisture content of his bats," [SSK representative Rob] Williams said. "He heard that Ichiro has one of these (humidors) and he said, 'I've got to have one.' "
This is so Major League. Hat for bat, keep bat warm, gracias! I would love to see what one of these humidors look like. Imagine that, a personal, portable humidor for a bat. I want one! It's at times like this where the questions must be asked: how long before these humidors hit the stores? How long before the rich kid on the Little League team has one? Barry, I know your reps treat you well, any chance you can float one of those my way?
