A baseball bat is a smooth wooden or metal club used in the sport of baseball to hit the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher. By regulation it may be no more than 2.75 inches in diameter at the thickest part and no more than 42 inches (1,100 mm) long. Although historically bats approaching 3 pounds (1.4 kg) were swung, today bats of 33 ounces (0.94 kg) are common, topping out at 34 ounces (0.96 kg) to 36 ounces (1.0 kg).
Although using a stick to hit a ball is a somewhat simple concept, the bat is a complex object. It is carved or constructed very carefully to allow a quick, balanced swing while providing power. The bat is divided into several regions. The barrel is the thick part of the bat, where it is meant to hit the ball. The part of the barrel best for hitting the ball, according to construction and swinging style, is often called the sweet spot. The end of the barrel is not part of the sweet spot and is simply called the top, end or cap of the bat. The barrel narrows and becomes the handle. The handle is very thin, so that batters can comfortably grip the bat in their hands. Sometimes, especially on metal bats, the handle is wrapped with a rubber or tape grip. Finally, below the handle is the knob of the bat, a wider piece that keeps the bat from slipping from a batter's hands. Over the decades, the bat's form has become more refined. During the 19th century, many shapes were experimented with, as well as handle designs. Today, bats are much more uniform in design.
I can’t lie, I like to get my 2 Step on
At night crisp white on white two steps on
Shorty-wop you can take two steps tall
Pause don’t step on my new Air Jordans
I see you like to model well I’ll dance on that
I’ll tap I can do the Kid n Play on that
School crabs and walk with a baseball bat
New Edition does it fresh with the Cabbage Patch
Patch on my jacket mean the leader of the pack
Pack a lunch, snack chips, ham sandwich of the bunch
Country hall (?) in the back with my cap to the back
Back to the back of the class for you crabs
Shrimps, lobsters, sharks, crawfish
Mean fastball you can’t get a hit off us
Outfield n*ggaz wanna run up on us
Mush mouth you might want to be more cautious
Chorus:
Awesome (awesome)
We rockin, we toss ‘em (toss ‘em)
Word, flossin (flossin)
Awesome (awesome)
We rockin, we toss ‘em (toss ‘em)
Flossin’
(repeat)
A little bit in the flask, little bit in the cup
Spill a little on the counter when I’m fillin it up
Drill drill (?) procedures just follow chill
Will you get me a cup from there,
but spare me the Tupperware
Hard to get a toast with that plastic sh*t
I sit in the chair in the crip hey why be bissel why be
chisel why cutten my head playing n*ggers f**king the
sh*t
being 18 mean they gonna be ruffing their head
We all down but aint nobody ducking their head
In downtown dog catcher everybody like Mike
Hanging like a comic, or Mr. Cooper, super
califragilistic
Listen a Southern playa lynched it
Graduated from district 227, reppin the south subs,
Don’t nobody show it enough love
It fits like a glove and, leave it alone
Can’t get the keys to the crib walking her home
Chorus
