It's made of ash, has a great heft & weight and feels like it could send a ball a mile. He hand-burned the label and aligned it with the grain so if I ever decide to use this bat, I'll be able to figure out how to hit with it without shattering it.

I feel like I should start playing baseball again but I'm afraid I'd damage it, or myself. Instead, I think we'll figure out how to mount it on the wall above the 30th anniversary picture collection our daughter put together for us last year.
That places it strategically near the door so I can use it to protect myself from those annoying and dangerous Jehovah Witnesses.
