I don’t even see how he could’ve gotten the bat down the barrel in the first place.

This is why I never throw away files.

Never know when they'll come in handy.

Cue Baseball Furies scene from the Warriors movie.

Is that an actual pic of the guy with a bat that the cop shot? Perhaps then the officer was trying to save the bat’s life when he shot the guy. Looks like he was about to eat the poor thing!

I hope this one has enough sense to stay out of that park! Between the police shooting and beating them, and people trying to eat them, it's just not a safe place for a bat to be.

It was a misleading headline to say the least.

That pic was Ozzy Osbourne probably 40 years ago.

I know. :)

Wasn’t there false reporting some years back that it was Alice Cooper who did the ‘bat thing’ on stage?
