We have a local 16 - 18 Travel League that holds Wood Bat Tourney's.

It's great ! We get at least 20 broken bats per game on the first day...Why ?

Because parents think they can get a break, and go out and buy their kids a $30 wood bat, and have it survive an 85 mph fastball on the inside.

The Tourney's are usually Saturday and Sunday. After each Saturday game, we hear parents asking where they can go buy their kid a 'good' wood bat.

On Sunday, we only see a few broken bats, and a lot of broken checkbooks.
