If I was in a fight I would laugh at a guy with a ball and run from a guy with a bat

Bat is riskier I'd say. Either could kill you but if I see it coming I def like my chances with a baseball better

Eta I'm assuming bat is broken. Might change otherwise

Baseball is the obvious answer. Isn't it?

You would think so, but some of these people want to get hit with a bat apparently.

Holy shite, do you even physics bro? A bat weighs a lot more than a baseball. A 90 mph bat would destroy you.

Ill take the baseball . If you got a glove you can catch a baseball . You're not catching a bat. Period

The bat won't be flying at you at 90 mph. Plus it could be spinning and not hit you with full force.

The ball will be flying at you faster depending on what type of foul it is and hit you with all of its mass.

I choose bat in a game situation..

But if someone dropped both on me standing on a building while i lay on the ground which guarantees full force and mass. Then i choose ball.

If both are being thrown I'd rather the baseball cause I could either catch it or at least knock it away. Might hurt your hand a bit but no big deal.

If its a bat being thrown or line shot foul ball off the bat ill take the bat. I was hit by a line shot off the bat in foul territory while leading off 3rd base. Didn't have so much as a second to move before the ball was on me. Luckily it wasn't at my head. Took it off the outside of my leg right below the hip. F that shite.

Bat would probably do less damage if it connected.



HELL NO if the ball thrown your way, its a tossup if the ball is hit your way.

Did you bother reading the comment he was replying to when he made that statement?
