Twas an attempt at humor and a poke at a questionable rule Ozzy.

You can't warm it in the sun if you put it on the tin roof but you can if you lean it on the fence?

What if it's a concrete roof, not a tin roof?

How about a fiberglass roof?

Can you leave your personal bat in your personal black equipment bag in the sun between ABs?

Normal ambient temperature conditions in Arizona will yield a warmer bat than one in NY or CT. Should we make them cool the bats in AZ?

I know, Rich... I was continuing the fun.

If a player sticks a bat under his armpit to warm it up, I say nothing
If a team happens to lean their bats against a fence which happens to be facing the sun, I say nothing.
If a team constructs an Archimedes Heat Ray directed at their bats, then we have a problem.

I didn't know how that Archimedes messed around with Heat Rays. I thought he just scribbled numbers on parchment and convinced everyone around him that he was smarter the they were.
