Hand Part of Bat.
1. Take a bat, hold it at arm's length and let it fall to the ground. What ever hits the ground is part of the bat.
2. "Okay coach, the hands are part of the bat. Makle sure you have your players leave their hands in the dugout when they are on defense!"
I have been known to use one or both of these to explain to coaches during a game that the hands are not part of the bat. There is no rule to show this, it is just using the God given gray matter that is located 3 feet above everyone's butt! :>)
