A few years back I was involved in an athletic association.  I was coaching a senior team that was comprised of mostly high school kids.  They brought their own bats, and to a kid, they were using the trendy bats at the time, and they were well over $100.  A friend of ours has a son who plays HS ball at the same school my daughter attends.  His bat of choice cost almost $400. 

 

I had parents ask me if it would be a good idea to buy their kid a premium bat years ago.  It cost over $200.  It was a tee ball bat. 
This...

I cannot believe the heights parents will go to to help "Junior" manufacture power.

I long for the days when I used to carry my glove on the end of my (hand me down, duct taped, wooden) bat to an empty lot so I could go out and play baseball with my friends...
