The guys like the thin handled bats - presumably because they are similar to non-wooden bats in amateur ball. Dangerous shards are common and are becoming more so. To do nothing is just foolish. There must be some alternatives which would not effect the game much yet would prevent daggers from flying.

What do you suggest then? What would absolutely positively prevent any injuries or diseases from occuring from a possibly shattered bat, something that has a lower percentage of happening than someone getting hit by lightning.
(Speaking of odds ... if your nearest convenience store is 1 1/2 miles from your home, the odds of you being killed in a car accident on the way to the store is 3 times higher than winning the lottery with the ticket you bought at that store... should we legislate no more lottery - it's not safe!!!)
