Players Wouldn’t Use Performance-Enhancing Reebok Vector O Bat

In America’s pastime, where honour and fair competition reign and unfair advantages are never tolerated, there is no place for the “aerodynamic” Reebok Vector O baseball bat. After all, ballplayers would do anything to avoid besmirching their sport!

The Vector O bat features three little air vents just above the handle to decrease both weight and air resistance, although it seems to us that a bat is rotated while swung and would thus render the aerodynamic benefits null. It’s made of some kind of alloy, so even without any topical sarcasm about baseball, it can’t be used in the pros—but at $US280, you’d have to take your stickball at least a little seriously to buy it.
