All the players use light bats now. Very few bats over 32 ounces now. Barry's bat is not that light, around 32, which is average. Sosa swings a little heavier. McGwire swung a light bat. Griffey is around 31. Soriano used the heaviest bat on the Yanks last season at 33.
Here are some examples of the type of bat used by storied hitters throughout history:
Babe Ruth ---- Louisville Slugger, 35 inches, 35 ounces
Ted Williams ---- Louisville Slugger, 34 inches, 30 ounces (500th home run bat)
Hank Aaron ---- Louisville Slugger A115, 34 1/2 inches, 32 ounces (3,000th hit bat)
Pete Rose ---- Louisville Slugger R195, 35 inches, 34 ounces (3,000th hit bat)
Tony Gwynn ---- Louisville Slugger B267, 32 1/2 inches, 32 ounces (3,000th hit bat)
Heaviest bat ---- 48 ounces by Edd Roush, Cincinnati Reds
Lightest bat ---- 30 ounces by Billy Goodman, Boston Red Sox and Joe Morgan, Cincinnati Reds
Longest bat ---- 38 inches by Al Simmons, Philadelphia Athletics
Shortest bat ---- 30 inches by Willie Keeler, New York Yankees

I think it would be Doug Mientkiewicz. He plays with the Royals. For more info u can go to http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=137006 Look at some videos when he bats and u will see that his bat is huge! The bottom of his bat is shaped like a door knob!

Check Julio Franco. He's 187 years old, and he cuts down a tree every morning to use as a bat.
