I just got the Legion rules for 2008. It lists acceptable bats as wood, metal, ceramic or graphite. I have never heard of ceramic bats and I've talked to some good HS coaches who also have never heard of them. Any of you know anything about them?

Easton made one in the late 80's
The HS team I played on from 86-89 had one around 87 or 88 for about a week. It was made by Easton...best I can remember it was putty-gray with Green EASTON writing on it. It began cracking/chipping within the first week and we returned it and got an aluminium bat instead. I didn't like the way it felt/hit the ball at all. Not anything like the modern composites.

Yep, the one I remember was white--it hit the ball pretty well until it broke in half

If you go to http://www.acers.org/purdymuseum/exhibit2/e20006b.asp there is a ceramic bat. I don't really understand why anybody would think it would be a good idea to make one because as anybody who's ever owned a mug knows, they tend to crack when you just drop it two feet. what did they think would happen with repeated blows from a baseball?Greystones Mariners Baseball Club. The oldest baseball club in Ireland. 16 years and still going strong.
