Although some may claim that it is physically impossible, I remember watching a MLB TV replay situation where a baseball was "put into play" after the man at bat appeared to make double contact with the baseball. The bat struck the ball twice during the course of the swing's follow through.

I think the defense did bring it to the attention of the umpires after noticing the ball change directions while coming off of the bat. But I am not sure if the umpire ever acknowledged a second contact with the ball, and its relative change in direction, was ever made. He may not have seen it.

Ruled a base hit.

The only time I can remember a ball double hit the bat is during a bunt attempt. One time I heard it, but didn't see it, so I just waited until the ball rolled foul.
