Major League Baseball Bats from Maine

"What do Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, Chicago White Sox infielder Tyler Saladino, Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez and Cleveland first baseman Carlos Santana have in common?

"They are a few of the 25 Major League Baseball players who are using wooden bats manufactured in Shirley, 8 miles south of Greenville.

"If you're a devoted baseball fan and have never heard of Dove Tail Bat Co., don't feel bad. Owner Paul Lancisi, who also operates Designed Living Kitchen Showroom with his wife, Theresa, said that he doesn't mind. . . .

"Thanks to the growing number of players using his product, Lancisi is busier than ever and hopes to expand the bat-making operation, including adding at least three positions at the mill. 'We shipped 3.000 bats out of here all of last year, and we've already shipped that many this year,' he said recently."

 

A recent Bangor Daily News article profiled the Dove Tail Bat Company and its expanding presence in the world of baseball (thanks to its quality products).
