Summary

On the episode, we cover the very important history of baseball bats (stay with me), we dance from general history to personal use (keep staying with me), and finally we cover a little slugger who has impending doom hanging over his head. We end things with Squirrels, Germans and Brits. It’s terrible, it’s jolly, and there are frickin’ bats. Hugs. ❤️

0:00.0	This is the 911 Calls Podcast with the operator and his exact twin minus being born and
0:18.2	raised in Kentucky and his herald military service and being born to a completely other
0:22.6	mother, Kent Chungus, from here voices, okay, oh hello Kent, hey do you know the history
0:48.0	of baseball bats? Hey buddy. I mean, I'm from Kentucky, the home of Louisville, which makes
0:57.9	the Louisville slugger and I'm sure this is directly related to the call that we're about
1:02.3	to have today. Why don't we get into the history of baseball bats? I don't know if you remember,
1:10.2	three seconds ago, producer said stick to the script, focus on don't dilly dally. No dilly dally. And so I'm
1:20.2	not, I'm, I'm laser focused on this one. Right. So I don't know if you knew it, but yeah, the

2:39.1	like a foot long. Yeah. Or even like a meter. So those were the black players.
2:49.5	There weren't any restrictions though at the time on material. You could, you could build a
