Trivia

  • Aluminum baseball bats were manufactured as early as 1968.[1] They were first legalized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for use in games in 1974.[2]
  • During development, a team-colored label was displayed on the Bat. At a later point in development, the label was changed to the current faded green coloration for both teams. The bucket icons were not changed to reflect this and still show the team-colored labels.
