Metal vs. Wood Baseball Bats

"The Physics of Baseball"

on Amazon or AbeBooks
(affil link)

Okay, I am doing a report on the pros and cons of metal baseball bats and the wooden baseball bats, like the similarities and differences and I would like to see why they use the certain ones and just many things about that. I would like a good report so please help me soon.

Thanks,

Samantha, you really, really, want to go to a forum where the active participants have an interest in baseball. Perhaps something like the rec.sports.baseball newsgroup, or a baseball based chatroom.

That said, my tongue-in-cheek advice would be to focus your report on anodizing. It's wonderful for aluminum bats, and doesn't work for wooden bats. Sulfuric acid anodizing is especially bad for wooden bats, and not that great for the anodizing bath, either.
