Hey, I am all for total ban of metal bats in place of wood and I always have been. But taking a shot in the head doesn't matter if the bat was metal or wood. A shot to the head is a shot to the head, period! It's kind of like getting hit in the head with a .45 cal as opposed to a .38 cal. It's going to damage you one way or another.

My contention of getting rid of metal bats is that wood is a true hit, metal is not. Metal bats go farther and harder, that is a proven fact. Also, metal bats (like metal woods in golf) have a correction factor - a large sweet spot. Wood bats require practice, practice, practice - something most people are not willing to do.
