New York -- The New York City Council today is expected to vote today on a bill that would ban metal bats from high school baseball games. The measure was unanimously approved by a committee Monday.
In addition to bad writing by the reporter (maybe he had an extra Today in his word box and need to use them all by the weekend), this is a bad use of taxpayer-paid time.
Supporters of the bill say aluminum bats are a safety hazard because the ball ricochets off the bat quicker than off a wooden bat. But others say there's no evidence to prove metal bats are more dangerous than wooden ones.
Maybe we could get them to ban Moonbats.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has also expressed skepticism, saying a ban may not solve the problem. He has not said whether he'll veto the bill.
