Ax handle
 
Are ax handle bats legal in OBR? I always thought that the entire bat needed to be round.

Pedroia if I'm not mistaken.

It did happen. They showed it and had a lengthy discussion (led by Ripken.)

I think only the knob was shaped like an axe knob.

It would be noticed by the defense and the umpire as soon as he dropped it.

Why the Axe Bat, Dustin Pedroia may help make the round handle obsolete

Article says the bat is certified, but it doesn't directly say the bat is legal.
