Looking at the photo, I'm surprised some nanny group has not tried to
ban baseball. Too dangerous for children.

When I was a kid the pro teams used to give the cracked bats to young fans
in the stands. They'd take them home, tape them up and use them in their
sand lot games.

When I was a kid my best friends uncle was Stan "The Man" Musial. He
gave me one of his broken bats, which we taped up and tried to use. The
bat was WAY to big for 10 year olds, and the tape didn't hold up anyway.
The bat was in my Mom's house for at least 30-40 years and then
disappeared. Probably could have sold it to Rick Harrison on the Pawn
Stars show for some cash.
