Shooter's Comments: I learned a lot about bats today. Mostly, I learned that bat wranglers don't like small kids to come near the bat they're carrying, which is unfortunate, because it would have made a much better photo. As it was, I had to make do with 2 photos, a close-up of the bat and a general photo of the kids.
