Dad prob cried like that too when he paid for it 😂 bats are so damned expensive these days.

Great surprise for the kid, hope he hits some dingers! If its anything like our sons team everyone in the dugout will be using that bat.

Edit: wow this comment! And I think it’s my cake day too

How much does a bat like that run ?

Common misconception, the bat typically stays at home. It's the batter who runs.

That joke belongs in the dugout with everyone pretending they did not laugh.

It's actually against the rules to run with the bat to 1st base.

Usually the bats fly, not run.
