Moreover, both want to see improved safety measures in the youth game — Sandberg a return to wood-only bats, Schlesner the use of helmets by pitchers — for one common reason.
"We just don't want anyone to have to go through what we've been through," Sandberg says of his family, which lives 10 miles north of San Francisco, in words echoed by Schlesner, from just outside Cincinnati.

sad story, but a dumb story because its nothing but speculation by the writers. No facts or anything to back up his claim that "metal bats caused the injuries"
Baseballs caused the injury, not the bat. But I do see wish the youth leagues would get on board with the bat standards. Some have done away with big barrels, but others still allow them. Some have a length/weight ratio and others do not.
I guess it will take a law suit before some of them make a change.
