Maple bats concern commissioner
Representatives from the commissioner's office, the players union and major league teams will meet June 24 in New York to discuss the future of maple bats. The bats have come under scrutiny recently because they have a tendency to shatter into large pieces when they break. Ash bats do not typically break as drastically. Commissioner Bud Selig has expressed concern about the possibility that the shattered bats could cause injuries.

Ahhh Selig. Maybe if he acted on the steriods issue this fast.....or that strike in '94 this fast. A monkey in a ballerina suit could do better than this moron. Selig has turned me off of baseball. Id rather watch paint dry.

They should make the bats out of fossilized wood and those Sequoias and California redwoods. Make the game more interesting. Heck, maybe let the players harness their roid rage and let them tear the legs off fans and use them as bats.

First off, Daniel9752 check out the new Sherwin Williams line of outdoor paints, they are incredible and are sure to please
Secondly, I agree with madhatter, there have to be some endangered species of tree's that would make great bats!
