BMH, Why no blue bats?

[newyork2]

How come they don't use any special blue father's day bats? They could support prostate cancer. Would be a cool idea.

I always wondered that also. I would have bought one

The donations for breast cancer research is for guys too.

But I'd like the blue bats also.

The Iowa Cubs minor league club uses blue bats for fathers day. But no MLB clubs do.

17. The only permitted colors are:
a. For ring-porous or semi-ring-porous wood species (such as ash, the
oaks, elm and hickory):
i. Natural finish;
ii. Brown wood stain;
iii. Black; and
iv. Half stain (Walker finish).

b. For diffuse-porous wood species (such as sugar maple, beech and yellow
birch)
i. Natural finish; and
ii. Half stain (Walker finish) with natural or clear finish required on
the handle and either brown or black stain allowed in the barrel,
subject to the requirement in paragraph 16.


Color is determined by MLB, not the manufacturer.

Brian,why not blue for the one day. Pink is used and there are black bats Did somebody ask to use blue(for the one day/charity) and was told no?

I don't know about you guys but as a member for the male gender we should really feel discriminated against here. I think we should start a petition for blue bats on Father's Day.

I surprised Alfred G. Rava hasn't started a class action lawsuit against MLB.

I started an online petition for Blue Bats for Father's Day if anyone is interested:
