best bet is to buy a ball and glove also.... then if the old bill ever give u a grillin for havin a ball as a weapon etc.....
'look officer, heres my ball and glove to accompany my bat' case closed now fook off copper!!

Doesnt work, I had all my baseball gear in the back of a car and went to a cruise on the way home from a game, Cops pulled me over, saw my bat and my skateboard and thretened to charge me with two offeinive wepons and send me to court. I kicked off about the skateboard because...well tis a f**kign skateboard.
Ended up with a slap on hte wrists, a £30 fine for my numberplate and an hour of my time waisted in the back of a police car. All for having sports gear in the boot of my car.
