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!
