use wood bats or Im not watching
When you think about it, every sport that uses equipment has modernized it, the one exception is MLB and the wooden bat. Hockey, Tennis, Golf, LAX, etc have all updated it.
Even MLB has upgraded gloves, helmets, catchers gear, shoes obviously, why not the bat?
All because of the record book, not because it makes any rational sense. The metal bat's pop is dumbed way down from 10 years ago too.
I don't think aluminum bats should be used in baseball...from high school (or sooner) and up.
I'm fine with aluminum bats for fast/slow pitch softball...but not baseball. Baseball is meant to be played with a wooden bat.
But they make a cool sound. I think you just don't get it.
nothing cooler than the crack of a wooden back on the ball
...or the thud of a shoulder pad to a leather helmet. That's the best.
