The greatest batter-draws-line-with-bat story I ever heard was similar to this. It was from one of the eminent veterans from our L.A. unit:

"One time I had a guy reach out and flip his bat and use the knob to draw a line to show me where the last pitch was. I asked him if I could have that bat for a second. He gives me the bat, and I flip it and use the knob to draw a big curve toward the guy's dugout, and then I drew a little arrow at the end."
