Bats

Bats are a big part of baseball.

Also one of the most dangerous parts of baseball is the bats. The bats are not metal so they can break. If they used metal bats more people would get hurt and people would smash the home-run record of 73 in one season and over 700 in a career. The bats are made out of ash and maple trees. Since the bats are wood they do splinter and pitcher and fans can get hurt by flying bats. This is very dangerous. Baseball bats are made by carving wood to get the right shape of the bat. But if a bat is corked you can hit the ball farther without much more effort. Someone that got caught was Sammy Sosa who was a great power hitter.====== media type="youtube" key="zbLeXlhDdJ4" height="344" width="425"
