I LOVE THE BEAUTY OF THE WOOD OF THE BAT. HATE IT KIDS PLAY WITH ALUMINUM BATS NOW. AIN'T NOTHING LIKE HOLDING AND GETTING A HIT WITH A WOOD BAT. WE WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE THE SIDE THE TRADE MARK WAS ON AS IT WAS THE WEAKER PART AND WOULD BREAK.BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TURNING THE BAT AROUND MADE IT STRONGER IF YOU HIT IT WHERE THE TRADE MARK WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE. SEEMS IT WOULDA BEEN JUST AS WEAK. OH WELL IT WAS WHAT WE WERE TOLD.DID NOT KNOW THEY LET GIRLS PLAY BALL BACK THEN! COOL! WAS SHE IN THE MIDGET LEAGUE? AS A KID IN LITTLE LEAGUE IN THE EARLY TO MIDDLE 60S THERE WERE NO GIRLS PLAYING IN A LEAGUE AND NOT MANY GIRLS THAT EVEN WANTED TO PLAY BASEBALL AT ALL. NOW I DID HAVE A GIRL COUSIN THAT COULD HOLD HER OWN PLAYING BASEBALL WITH ME AND HER[MY COUSINS] THREE BROTHERS! [IN FACT SHE COULD THROW HARDER THEN ANY OF US! AND I PITCHED IN LITTLE LEAGUE.

Georgia Status: offline My Mom was always the tomboy, but I doubt she ever played organized ball. I played Little League in the late 60's and early 70's and we were at the very end of all wooden bats. I remember we had a new red 28" aluminum bat that everybody on the team wanted to bat with. We actually used some wooden bats into the late 70's in high school ball, I used a 33" wooden bat if I remember correctly. We used to turn the trademark up where it faced you if you held your arms out over the plate. I too cannot understand why it made a difference where it was, but it seemed it did. As kids, we used to take a broken bat (usually cracked on the handle) and put screws or nails in it and then tape it up to reuse them. Would hurt like hell when you broke them again...My daughter played high school softball and it was amazing how light weight the bats had gotten. It's a wonder why pitchers don't get seriously hurt more than they do in softball, as close as the pitcher is after releasing the ball. (in reply to glass man) Post #: 25
