Linus could have used the bat as she went by.

This seems to be something Lucy loves to do. She did the same thing to Charlie Brown’s bat in the April 18, 1958 strip.

Here’s a thought; leave your next “New baseball bat” in YOUR ROOM so Lucy can’t get ahold of it.

Just for sheer laughs, this has always been one of my favorite individual Peanuts strips.
