I don't like maple bats because I'm a traditionalist. But I don't think that is reason enough to ban them. I'd like to see data on the advantages versus the risks.

There are far more people seriously injured with aluminum bats based on every statistic I've seen. Allowing maple bats to remain in Major League Baseball is akin to allowing gays to enter into partnerships and civil unions. Allowing aluminum bats would be akin to allow them to redefine marriage for everyone via gay marriage laws. Marriage would lose all meaning and so would Major League Baseball.

So, while I frown on the former, I adamantly abhor the later.
