Maple Bats: One of Baseball's Most Dangerous Weapons
I believe that hickory wood was used in the "early days" and is still used to make garden and various hand tools. I wonder why it isn't used today. And they could make laminated wood bats that could be engineered not to break and react/sound like a solid wood bat... Of course all sorts of things could be done to these engineered bats to "juice" them up and more regulations would probably be needed to keep up with this new technology..if ever allowed... Just wondering Mike
