But What Will We Use To Beat On The Brat?

It's Wednesday -- time for the New York City Council to do something stupid!

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.

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.

Plus, parents know that baseball is a gateway to drug abuse. This sailed through committee, but it might meet resistance. From the latest report:

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.

Yes, even Bloomberg is against it.
