I'm a
bit surprised this thread hasn't brought in famous fiction or
film instances of bats being used as the weapon of choice.
Isn't there a dinner scene in "The Untouchables"? My favorite
is Walter Hill's 1979 film, "The Warriors," where one of the
youth gangs costumes in baseball uniforms, face paint,and
swings bats in time to the throbbing soundtrack. Sort of Kiss
as a bat gang.
I
suppose some big city avis will tell us that there WERE gangs
who preferred bats, in the innocent days of juvenile
delinquency.
