My $.02 is that if you're PU and you see the bat in a hazardous area, while I understand the compulsion we all have to move something that's in a bad spot, we should leave it. If you pick it up and throw it somewhere else, you're now responsible for having put it there. If someone gets hurt as a result of the bat being there, it's your butt in the defendant's chair, having to explain to the jury why you shouldn't have to pay Joey's medical bills and lost wages after he broke his leg (despite having signed that waiver before the season started).

We live in a society that loves to sue over anything, including cases that fall into the "sh!t happens" bin.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
