Baseball bat

A baseball bat is a long wooden shaft with a large end used for hitting balls. Wait... that didn't come out right. Come to think of it... it actually sounds quite pervy. Stop laughing. Stop it, I say! Anywho, a baseball bat is used in the great ole formerly favorite American past time known as Baseball. Basically, when a pitcher from an opposing team throws the ball at you, you whack it with the bat, then run around a large diamond-shaped pattern until you return to your starting point, hopefully before a member of the other team fields the ball and returns it to base.

In The Walking Dead' comic book series and TV show, an antagonist named Negan uses a baseball bat as his preferred weapon of choice. He named the bat Lucille after his late wife, and had it wrapped in barb wire. He used the bat to brutally murder Glenn Rhee in both the comic and the TV series, and he used it to kill Abraham Ford in the TV show. On the TV show, Rosita Espinosa shot the bat while trying to kill Negan, and he expressed his outrage by having one of his soldiers, Arat, scar Rosita and kill an innocent woman named Olivia. In the comic, Negan eventually broke Lucille while repeatedly beating on Beta of the Whisperers. He was quite distraught by this and even had a funeral for the bat.
