| Just got a chance to listen to Podcast II, well done again. Derc...a bat is:
A bat is a mammal in the order Chiroptera. Their most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals in the world naturally capable of flight (like animal),(though other mammals, such as flying squirrels, gliding flying possums and colugos, can glide for limited distances). The word Chiroptera comes from the Greek words cheir "hand" and pteron "wing," as the structure of the open wing is very similar to an outspread human hand with a membrane (patagium) between the fingers that also stretches between hand and body.
A baseball bat is a piece of wood made out of Ash, Maple, Bamboo and an occasional Ironwood tree. Yes it gets thrown once in a while but not before a pitch is actually thrown.
Hill - that was strike 3...I saw Howenstine's pictures on Facebook...it was clearly a strike.
