yes, it does amaze me that the R&D of "metal" bat manufacturing has developed so much in the last since the 70's.
I am surprised that they didn't include William Shroyer, but maybe they will go after his descendants.
I wonder what lawsuit would have been filed if the bat would have split sending a spike into the boy's chest.
Why is it that a tragedy, isn't just a tragedy?
It won't matter, California, (it wouldn't surprise me) will soon classify bats and bat like items along the lines of registrable weaponry.
Considering that Bonds made his record run with a a maple bat;
the prosecutions claim that metal bats hit the ball faster, doesn't make sense to me.
Should the 'hitter' be entitled to compensation if the victim wins a judgment? I am sure that the kids needs psychological counseling knowing he was responsible for such a tragic..... ACCIDENT!
