N LA Hacker, I can tell that these posts have absolutely ruined your day. Just to explain why myself and others ask the question, we are asking if anyone has recently returned a similar bat and what they were able to get in return. Sure we could call Worth, but not everyone has the opportunity or availability to call Worth during their business hours. Or in my case I called and sat on hold for 10 minutes and thought it might be more productive to just ask on here. My question for you, why in the hell do you bother to read the thread and respond if you know what the poster is asking before ever reading the entire thread. I am of the opinion if you if you can not answer the question then do not read or respond to the post. This is a message board intended for softball players to ask and answer questions for one another. If you are truly annoyed with these posts then find a new hobby
