What I found interesting as I transitioned to softball from that other sport with the small white ball is how 180 out the communities feel about this. In that other sport, we were told that if we could do it, move the bat, usually by bending down while watching play and sliding the bat back between the legs. In softball, however, we were instructed never to touch it.
Hell, I was even castigated when I picked up a bat after an inning ended and handed it to a player or coach as they headed for the dugout.
