Can you prove that this kid wouldn't have been killed had the ball been hit with a wooden bat? Shit happens and I'm sorry this family lost their child but it was a freak accident that could have happened no matter which bat was used. Considering the number of aluminum bats used world-wide, it's totally stupid to call for a change just because a kid got hit with a ball and died.

Do you have any permanent emotional scars from this???

Sue them all!!!

Do tattoos count?

Actually, since getting creamed by the baseball, I have an all consuming fear of Kentucky, though it may have more to do with country music than baseball bats.

While true that we have more country music than baseball bats, I will have to go with maybe you are racist.

Yeah, maybe. And maybe some guy who overdosed on Red Label would have survived had he drank Black Label. Should they put that on the bottle, too? Are we to put a warning label listing every possible scenario, butterfly effect-style? Don't be ridiculous.Not really. A corporation only has power if its customers buy the products. Baseball bats are hardly a necessity.Actually, I defend their right based on liberty and the fact that they're not hurting anyone.I didn't say he was.And this should be up to him. If he doesn't bother to research anything, maybe he shouldn't be skydiving. You're demanding an unreasonable amount of information to be provided despite the extremely limited marginal returns at that stage of detail. Should car manufacturers all give you a scale telling you which competitors' cars are more reliable and which are less reliable? Should they compare the gas tank capacity of the cars and tell you their has has a pint less? And that's with CAR! You want such standards for fucking steel pipes!

I'm a white, Christian, I own guns and vote Republican. Obviously I'm racist.

Oh! And I have a job.

Well... that is the kicker right there. Why don't you like KY? Didn't you here? We are ALL racist here!

There is no proof that an aluminum bat is "many more times more likely to kill people". This is a supposition based on the fact that a ball travels a couple of percent faster off of one, than off of a wooden bat, and that 7 kids in Japan have died in 35 years.
For God's sake!!! one kid every 5 years? More kids die from getting poked in the eye by sharp sticks. No one is suing God for making sharp sticks, are they?

Truthfully, I've never been to Kentucky. I should visit. I probably would like hanging out with other racist rednecks.

Man... I really need to proofread my posts didn't you here... wow... just wow... (guess the redneck in me comes out sometimes )

You can take the girl out of the trailer park....

Actually, for me it would be the ghetto... never lived in a trailor park, but I did live in Over the Rhine in Cincinnati for a bit.

Sorry, I don't buy into your lies...you're a white girl, that is a conservative (no party affiliation). That's much too teabaggy like and therefore you must have come from a trailer park.

Yes, a trailer park. You have a car up on blocks in the front yard and beer cans strewed about. You also fly a Confederate Flag and are an avowed racist.

You are right... my love of "Screwdriver" is never ending.

(And if you know who Screwdriver is... you are a racist. Just knowing who they are makes you racist!!)
