In New Haven, CT here a few years ago, (Men's ASA SP) a player threw his bat in disgust. The handle end of the bat went right through a standard chain-link fence, exactly where a spectator was watching the game with his face right up against the fence. The bat went into his skull and the spectator ended up in a coma, and his life was forever changed. Everybody got sued, and the city paid a large settlement.
In New Haven, all teams are told that if someone throws a bat in a game, that player is done for the season.
I am quick with warnings to players who throw bats in any game (ASA SP, NFHS) I work.
