Am I the only one here who thinks that the idea of wooden bats shattering when used by little league players is utterly ridiculous?
Not a bad point. I don't think many little leaguers will be brining the heat like Nolan Ryan did but still, if the bats are made cheaply enough, they sill break in to jagged halves. Maybe shattering is not the best word to describe what wooden bats do. That would be the appropriate term for glass bats.
Note to parents: Don't buy balsa or pine baseball bats :-P

I freaking love whiffle ball. :grin: Although, it's a lot better if you wrap the yellow plastic bat with duct tape before use.
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Well, It'll be pretty hard to hit a home run. Then again, the ball'd be hard to catch.

It depends on whether the spikes stay on the bat, or stick to the ball. I think it'd be kinda interesting to have a spiked bat that the ball sticks too, but you can't remove the stuck ball. Eventually, you'd hit the incoming ball with an already-stuck ball, but the hit would be unpredictable.

It'd make baseball a whole lot more entertaining for me, that's for sure :-P

When I feel like smoking a pipe, I smoke a pipe (Half and Half ftw). When I feel like smoking a cigarette, I smoke a cigarette (Parliament ftw). To me, they are COMPLETELY unrelated... it would be like eating an orange when I really want Cheetos, or something.

I hate pipe smokers. They're the Tim Burtons of the tobacco world.

No, we're the Stephen Fry's, Peter Cushing's and Patrick Moore's of the tobacco world.

It's Johnny Depp you need to be mad at here, not Tim Burton.
