Disposal of non-game player GU bats responsibly
As some of us on the GUF (I know Kyle Hess does) play baseball and buy pro model bats to use in games I thought I'd pass on this responsible way of disposing of broken bats. A couple of weeks ago I cracked a Mike Pelfrey 2011 Rawling Adirondack bat and need to dispose of it. So before I'm dumping it into the trash I marked it up so that no one can resell it as game used bat. I suppose using it for fire wood would certainly be an alternative but I don't have a fire place in my house.
I find it cheaper to buy common player bats to use in games rather then ordering my own bats from bat companies. The theory is the pro players get better wood and judging from the past having ordered bats for myself and comparing them to pro models it is the case.metsbats86@aol.com

Here's another idea David... all you need is a 5-inch long 1.25-inch drill bit. a drill, and some light sandpaper. Oh yeah, for the first step you need a saw LOL

I was thinking about those or a lamp but lack the carpentry skills to do either.
Do you do those yourself Mike?metsbats86@aol.com

Mine went up in flames
The neighbors sometimes have a little fire that we sit by at night and we just throw random stuff in so I throw any of my broken bats in instead of trashing it. It's a lot more fun that waykylehess941@hotmail.com

Re: Disposal of non-game player GU bats responsibly
Those are great Mike.! Im newer and have never seen that done before. Thanks for the idea... Knowing my knack (or lack there of- I should say) for all things creative, Im sure they wont look like that but Ive got enough fakes from when I first started out to make a cool pen holder for every one of my family members for the holidays... haha

I originally found these on Ebay (see below)... I tried a few myself but the Ebay ones saved a lot of miscuts and frustration LOL...
