Say what? Tapia talks to his bat
(MLB.com Colorado Rockies)

Rockies rookie Raimel Tapia puts the bat to his nose and face when he skims a pitch foul. Those who observe say the scent of leather, wood, pine and dirt -- set afire -- permeates the nose, taste buds and soul. But Tapia insists he isn`t smelling his bat; he`s talking to it.
