Thursday trivia: Who led the MLB in home runs in 2009?

The holiday season broke up our regular Thursday trivia feature, but this week we’re back in action.

Our first question is a simple one.

What’s so hot about the Air Exogrid: Louisville Slugger’s line of Air Exogrid baseball bats has that rare combination of performance and style.

Call it the Ferrari of baseball bats. It’s sleek, it’s stylish and it’s built to exceed expectations.

The Air Exogrid is a one-piece hybrid bat — with a stiff Exogrid Composite handle — that features dual air chambers in its ST+20 aluminum alloy barrel.

The dual chambers divide the barrel and isolate the ideal hitting area, which enhances the sweet spot and boosts hitting power.

And just like the roar of a Ferrari’s engine, this baseball bat has a pop that will make your hair stand on end.

This offer is good through Sunday.
