I spent some early morning hours a few months ago watching the College
World Series on ESPN.  Great stuff!  I remember one pretty good fastball
pitcher who would have made Oil Can Boyd look somewhat reserved by
comparison.  He blew the smoke off his "six-shooter" after each
strike-out.  But that's not what I'm posting about...

They used metal bats in the series, and I didn't really like the "ring"
of ball hitting metal as much as the "crack" of ball against bat.  Which
is also quite immaterial.

Are there any differences between metal bats and wooden bats other than:
	(a) they don't break (more hits on jammed swings?)
	(b) they sound funny?
