They overlook the obvious: it's rarely the bat that injures, it's the BALL.

Clearly, they should be allowed metal bats but most definitely it's time to switch to nerf baseballs.

That should really cut down the injuries.

Oh I played 3rd base when I was a kid...I was 12 when a ground ball took a bounce on the turf and whammied me in the jaw.  I thought I broke it with all the swelling and blood.  Put some ice on it then got checked out at the ER.

Had that happened now....oh geez, I could sue the ball maker, the batter, the people who maintain the un-even turf....

I like the old days better, thank you!

Well, nannies for sure... we've got plenty of them.

They haven't quite won the whole thing yet though.  :)

Was pitching one day.
Pitched a beautiful fastball right down the pipe.
Batter hits the ball a line drive right back at my head.
Put the glove up to catch the ball
I missed.
The ball didnt.
Result.
3 chipped teeth and a pair of cut up and swollen lips tht made me look like I just kissed Godzilla.
It was literally years before I was willing to take the mound again

when i was a kid i got hit in the head with a bat during a game, passed out 1/2 hour later, i think it might have been a concussion, but in those days we only went to the doctor for something serious.

never believed in Metal bats, never have. don't believe in metal or compostite hockey sticks either

If the metal bats don't give any edge then why aren't they used in MLB.

I played competitve baseball till I was 30 and from experience metal bats are designed to outperform wood and do.

If they didn't why are all the sports stores stocked with 90% metal bats compared to wood, and don't tell me its cause wood bats break.

I could buy 3 ash bats to one good metal bat.

and in little league where the pitcher is only forty feet away, is another arguement for wood, one second means alot when it comes to reflexes.

and that is what I believe the difference between metal and wood, one second.
