Well, I have no idea, Mark, but Joe tells me that wood is
better. Apparently aluminium (Richard's correct) bats have a
nasty habit of denting and on occasion, have been known to
crack all the way down to the handle.

Hey Al,
I recently read a column* that mentioned a guy
who severely beat a black
man with an aluminum baseball bat after greeting
him with a racial
epithet (then claimed he was just using the word
as a friendly greeting,
like it's used in rap songs, so it wasn't a hate
crime). Made me wonder
-- have Scottish enforcers moved on to aluminum
or do they prefer the
feel of good wood?

* the above story was mentioned in an op-ed
column in last Sunday's
Washington Post about Andrew Young's recently
leaving his post at
WalMart (just in case anyone wants to read
more).
