One position on which I am not an enviromentalist....baseball bats

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Oct 12 '09, 12:39

over the life cycle of an aluminum bat, I bet the energy costs associated with all the wooden bats one aluminum bat would replace is much much larger

however, i don't see a way in which MLB could use aluminum bats without completely destroying their record book

Responses:

I'm not even so sure of that. Aluminum bats can get "used up" in a couple of months just from slow pitch. - Reagen Oct 12, 12:44
Ash trees are pretty extensively farmed. I'd guess that bats are made from sustainably farmed trees. -- nm - TWuG Oct 12, 12:44
If MLB used aluminum, some infielder would inevitably be killed. - musubi Oct 12, 12:41
