Remember, if you have a 35 offset, you probably won't have to roll
the fenders at all, so no need to invest in a Louisville Slugger.

Funny story:

I decided that I didn't want to buy a brand new wooden bat, since I was
going to wreck it bending sheetmetal, and I thought I'd save several
bucks picking one up at a tag sale.

Several tag sales later, late one Saturday afternoon, I saw a sign
and said "just one last one, then I'm off to The Sports Authority".

Poking around, I didn't see one, and when a guy who looked remarkably
like me asked if I saw what I wanted, I asked if he had any wooden bats.

He said "yes in the basement, but I'm afraid it had been professionally
personalized with my name, Glenn."  His face showed some surprise when
I quickly shot back "one N or two?". 

"Two", he said, and we laughed. The story was well worth the 3 bucks
that I paid him for the bat.
