Don't pick up that bat!

If someone gets hurt as a result of the bat being there, it's your butt in the defendant's chair, having to explain to the jury why you shouldn't have to pay Joey's medical bills and lost wages after he broke his leg (despite having signed that waiver before the season started).

We live in a society that loves to sue over anything, including cases that fall into the "sh!t happens" bin.

Dave is correct on this one, as far as I am concerned. Don't mess with the players' equipment. You can do a search and find where this has been discussed many times before on this forum.
