Look up some research that has been done and you will
see why.

Wooden bats should be banned as well based on your logic. Minor league first base coach was killed last year after getting hit in the neck with a line drive off a wooden bat...

Hell lets ban baseball....

It was an unfortunate accident plain and simple..

ahahahhaha

what does the bat have to do with any of this?

it is an object incapable of independant movement. If anyone should be sued (and no one should) it should be the guy who was wielding the bat.

I've heard there is a debate in MLB about banning maple bats because of their tendancy to break into splinters very, very easily. Aparantly the old birch bats last longer, are cheaper, and don't break into the same big sharp shards that maple does.

Isn't this...

...suit missing the mark? I mean, what actually hurt their child? A baseball bat or....

BASEBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jameo: :jameo: :jameo:



Consider. If a stronger kid whacks one back up the middle with a wooden bat and sends you kid ####### over tea cups off to the ER, what then? Is that OK? What if that kid had been doing push ups or taking HGH or watched some tape that made him a better hitter? A better, essence, dealer of death??? Well?

The ONLY common denominator is...the baseball!

Softballs don't hurt any less (and contrary to their name, are not any softer either).

Just ask my daughter. She got hit by a 40mph pitch right on her hip last season, and she has zero natural padding. Pitchers stand closer in softball, so the velocity they come at you is the same as baseball.

Ah, so you are saying ammo manufactures should be sued, not the gun manufactures. I know you really aren't saying that.

Well, mostly true but baseballs are harder than softballs.

You just contradicted yourself. They hurt the same. You just have more padding because of the beer

:lol:

What I meant was, there is no doubt with today's composite bats and depending on what "hardness" of softball you are using that softballs can certainly hurt and at close distances on the softball field such as third base and pitcher you can most certainly get tore up by a softball. However, even the hardest softball is not as hard as a baseball and if I had to pick to get hit by one I'd rather be hit by a softball everything else being equal.

Those stupid parents. They should sue the doctor that delivered the kid that hit the ball. Go straight to the source of the problem. :mad:

But are beer leagues fastpitch or slowpitch?

Y'all should have seen some of the pitches Monica, Cat, and Jennie were throwing at exhibition game they had at Baysox Stadium last weekend. :faint:

I have played slow pitch softball for a long time and still do. With the new bats and balls some poor pitcher is going to get killed. I have been as guility as anyone of hitting the middle once we have no more home runs left but I dont do it any more. Some of the technology the bat companys are useing are makeing 125 pound homerun hitters.

Makes sense. If the catcher is wearing chest protection for pitched and tipped balls, the pitcher would wear something to protect from much faster HIT balls.

Ok, I was going to bring regulation horseshoes to the Memorial party this weekend, but if I'm gonna get sued, forget it !!
