For Baseball fans: does anyone think like I do that...?
Whenever a hitter breaks his bat the play should be nullified and the player get to swing again without that swing counting at all? I'd like to see a rule change on that because the ball is not really going where it normally would in all other situations - the bat breaking dampens the energy of the contact, so it either goes shorter or in a different direction. Also, I think it's unsafe for a fielder to have to try to duck large pieces of wood, so in a way there is a "foreign object" in play which requires that time be called, just like when a fan throws something out onto the field. What does anyone think?
I do not agree that pitchers should have the right to intentionally break bats any more than they should be able to hit batters - that to me is unsportsmanlike. They should act professional at all times. But I also wonder whether certain players aren't being cheap in the bats that they buy.
See ... Andruw Jones of the Braves actually hit a broken bat homerun over 420 feet a few weeks ago. I think that you should still be able to see the clip of that somewhere over at MLB.com. As far as the rule being changed, I really doubt it. The way I see it, if a man is strong enough to break his bat and get a hit off of it, much less a homerun, then more power to him! The only thing that could get rid of the chunks of wood that fly around would be to replace the wood with metal bats, which would be a disaster (see the College World Series as an example). Balls would be flying out of the hard and being hit harder at players which would drive up the injury rate.
