It's getting ridiculous how many baseball bats are flying into the stands these days. It's a combination of dudes forgetting to pine tar their bat handles up and so many of them using the maple wood bats that break easier than Rosie O'Donnell chomps down a cupcake.

It's not worth the safety risk to me, as awesome as those seats may be.
