'''Marucci Bat Company''' is an [[American]] manufacturer of [[baseball bats]] based in [[Baton Rouge, LA]]. It was founded in 2002 by the [[Louisiana State University]] athletic training director Jack Marucci[http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174095&SPID=2178&SPSID=31741]. The company also is co-owned by former major league baseball players [[Kurt Ainsworth]] and Joe Lawrence.

'''Stanisław Leśniewski''' ([[March 30]] [[1886]]–[[May 13]] [[1939]]) was a [[Poland|Polish]] [[mathematician]], [[philosopher]] and [[logician]].

The bats are used by [[baseball]] superstars [[Carlos Beltrán]], [[José Reyes]], [[David Wright]], [[Gary Sheffield]], [[Manny Ramirez]], [[Todd Helton]] and [[Albert Pujols]][http://www.rustonleader.com/news.php?id=1538].

Leśniewski, one of the most remarkable scientific personalities in the history of logic, belonged to the first generation of the [[Lwów-Warsaw School]] founded by [[Kazimierz Twardowski]].

Together with [[Jan Lukasiewicz|Jan Łukasiewicz]] and [[Alfred Tarski]], his sole doctoral pupil, he formed the ''troika'' which in the [[1920s]] and [[1930s]] made the [[University of Warsaw]] perhaps the most important research centre in the world for formal logic.

His distinctive contribution was the construction of three interrelated [[formal system]]s, to which he gave the Greek-derived names of protothetic, [[ontology]], and [[mereology]].
