Learn More About The Baseball Bat Drawing

Baseball bats are wooden or metal clubs used in sports such as baseball, softball, and t-ball. The pitcher throws the ball, and the player swings the bat in an attempt to strike it and change its course. The best part of the bat to strike the ball is known as the "sweet spot."

Baseball bats arose during the 1800s along with the game of the same name. Batters would originally whittle or carve their own bats from wood.

They thus varied in length and thickness - they could be long or short, fat or thin, and some were flat rather than round. One, known as the banana bat, was even curved in an attempt to give the ball more spin.

Today, bats used in major and minor league baseball must conform to standard rules. For example, the bat cannot exceed a length of 42 inches and a diameter of 2.61 inches.

The most famous brand of baseball bats today is the Louisville Slugger, manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

The woodworking shop of Hillerich & Bradsby opened in 1855, and in 1884 manufactured a baseball bat that helped a local batter out of a "slump." This attracted other professional players, such as Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig.

Today, baseball bats may be made out of wood, metal, fiberglass, or even plastic. Children learning to play baseball or similar games often use bats that are smaller and lighter than traditional baseball bats.

Some baseball bats are collectible - those used in landmark games or by famous players, as well as autographed bats. The bat itself is seen as a symbol of baseball and Americana.
