Hitters breaking their bats during the course of a game is not really a rare thing. However, when a player breaks 3 bats over the course of a single at-bat... now that's considered kinda freaky. Here is a video of Oakland A's Cliff Pennington breaking 3 bats during one of his at-bats during last night's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
