"Most bat willows are female trees; this may explain why the bats are so tricky to handle."

The Statue of Eros in London's Piccadilly Circus, was cast from aluminium in 1893.
The aluminum bat was introduced to American baseball in 1970.
I have reason to believe that in 1949, an aluminium cricket bat would have reduced misogyny and increased cricket scores.

There was enough trouble in 1979 when Dennis Lilley of Australia attempted to use such an implement.

Bob, thanks for the entertaining and informative link. Do you have any idea as to the gender of Lillee's aluminium bat?

One of the arguments was that aluminium bats damage the balls. That suggests a gender to me, but I admit that it hardly helps your misogyny theory.

On the other hand, it does support your misogyny agenda.

Erik, Or as was once observed in Poor Dick’s Almanac, or somewhere, a gender batted is an agender spurned (or was it spermed?)!

Yes, it does. But using a jock-strap made from willow wood might be considered sexist.Erik_Kowal wrote: On the other hand, it does support your misogyny agenda.

Clearly, we must get used to yet more unsupported balls.

Woz, that raises the question:
Is it the wind in or upon Willow's cheeks which makes the blow of a bat, a pleasure or a job?

WoZ, as you make evident, your observations derived from thinking are a pleasure.
Thinking thrice, inevitably answers the question:
Is it the use of aluminum, aluminium, or willow that provides resistance to corrosion or corruption?
