Question
I recently bought my 6 year old son a louisville slugger omoha bat, after only a few practices the bat was dented, he only hit baseballs with it. I sent it back and louisville sent me another one but it has something in it that sounds like a bee bee.  I rattles,  he has not used it yet, I called Louisville slugger and they said it would not affect the preformace of the bat. What is it in the bat and should I try and make them give me another one?

Answer
No idea what could be in there....maybe a stray piece of aluminum. The bat company is probably correct in that the bat's performance probably won't be affected, but if it were me, I'dstill try to get a replacement just in case something is wrong with the inside surface of the barrel that could potentially weaken it and shorten its useful life.
