Creation of the Baseball Bat

I just began working on this piece but wanted to share as it develops.

Thoughts Regarding the Creation of the Baseball Bat

July 13, 2012

Have you ever thought about exactly where the idea for a baseball bat came from?  I know some would argue that men made it up or “discovered” it as part of the All American Game – Baseball.  A stick to hit a ball in a game as a means to the end of moving a person forward… taking that original thought a little further I must state that I know the baseball bat has been “developed” by a woman to accomplish tasks that man never dreamed of. 

A baseball bat is a tool that serves many purposes. 

It can be used to bash in the headlights of someone’s car that is disrespectful to someone elderly in a parking lot.  The idea being to make an impact on one’s thought; specifically “Hey idiot, you shouldn’t have done that.”

When one is sick and tired of doing dishes SHE can take the dishes outside… toss them in the air one at a time and hit them with the bat.  By doing so two different areas of concern can be addressed – 1) the dirty dishes are taken care of, 2) HER frustration from having to do the dishes; yet again, has been dissipated – at least partially.

When there is a wall in the way (at least from a woman’s perspective) and is unnecessary; where open space would benefit the vibes of the house the baseball bat is a simple and easy tool to use to begin the destruction and removing of said wall.  Opening up the lines of communication, in more ways than one, depending on the amount of shock introduced into the household at the specific time of the removal.

As shown in the movie “Raising Helen” the all mighty baseball bat can be used to bash in a hotel room door when someone’s teenage baby girl is using some unnecessary means to get our attention.  It can then be used to assure her accomplice that he needs to pull up his pants and vacate the room if he desires to continue on with life. 

So as one can see, women have far many more uses for the “baseball bat” than to simply hit a ball to move forward.
