Five-time All-Star Amos Otis may have used illegal bats for the majority of his career, but at least he was willing to admit it:
I had enough cork and superballs in there to blow away anything. ... I had a very close friend who made the bats for me. He'd drill a hole down the barrel and stuff some superballs and cork in it. Then he put some sawdust back into the hole, sandpapered it down and added a little pine tar over the top of it. The bat looked brand new.
