Don't think there's any "love" associated w/ it at all--suitable ash has
become hard to find (thereby read "expensive") is what I've heard. Don't
think there's anything more to it than that.

Yes and we all know that MLB players have to watch their money as they don't
make very much.
If suitable ash is hard to find, someone forgot to tell the baseball bat
manufacturers who turn them out by the million. Mable is just the latest
"fad".
