It’s almost like when Jimmi Hendrix came up on the Woodstock stage and blasted the Star Spangled banner for all the attendees. Except this was on YouTube and it wasn’t Woodstock, but a Wood Bat – Louisville Slugger to be exact.

Glenn Donnellan of the National Symphony Orchestra uses a Derek Jeter Louisville Slugger bat strung like a violin to play this patriotic song. The coolest thing is that the bat doesn’t sound half bad. Then again, it was miced up so we may be hearing a great job of post processing.

This brings a whole new question to baseball. Not whether the bat was corked, but if it was tuned. Rosin is OK though.

And if he wants it to be more “Hendrix” authentic, for a finale, he should set it on fire, then hit a home run with it.
