Okay…how many readers here keep a baseball bat by the door? Just saying, sports provide us many options for home defense outside of firearms. Picture Steve Martin fighting a tennis racket duel in the movie Roxanne.
Kid in my HS got jealous drunk at a party and beat his rival with a hockey stick. Beat him to death. Or that was the story they told us in the drug and alcohol abuse section of health class anyway.
highschool’s basement (Built 1922) held a five lane lap pool, and next door, a .22cal. rifle range.. they repurposed the range a couple decades after I left.

Pencils, pens, my fingers and fist can be a dangerous weapon, too.

The weather folk have weaponized a hockey stick.

Come to think of hit, I’ve never seen a hockey player cross-checked with a baseball bat either.

It might be better to ask a hockey player that question Lucy. I’m sure Snoopy is around someplace.

Actually it was quite a clever answer. In all my years of watching baseball I have rarely if ever seen a hockey stick put into the game before!

Depending on how it’s used, a lot of things are dangerous weapons, but Franklin has a good point – I’ve never seen a hockey stick in a baseball game.

Can a golf club be a dangerous weapon also?

Gosh I love Franklin. He had relatively few appearances but he made his “screen” time count!

Unless you are with the Detroit Tigers, after every home run, they put on a Red Wing helmet and carry a hockey stick which they try a practice swing!

A baseball bat can be a dangerous weapon, too. Just ask Rat from Pearls Before Swine.

Hard to figure out why it would be more dangerous than a cane, walking stick or golf club for example.

Franklin’s response is a satisfactory attempt at producing a ‘Yogism’ (i.e., “When you come to a fork in the road…. take it.”).
