One of the biggest topics of discussion on the baseball field today is the conversion by D2 schools to the use of Wood Bats.
This is how the game was designed and meant to be played. The desire of bat manufactures to derive more profits has caused a generation of L.I. kids to play with metal bats and not learn the game.
It is just not the same game. More and more leagues are going back to wood. Safer, better, and real Baseball!
