Baseball bats are a weapon type in Slash'EM that use the Club skill and are more powerful than regular clubs. However, they aren't randomly generated, and are generally only seen as the base item for the Bat from Hell. You can find a normal one in a bones level if you already have the Bat from Hell, or you can even wish for one.

Hack'EM

Baseball bats can appear in junk shops

In SpliceHack there are a few differences from the standard baseball bat. The damage vs large is d6 instead of d8, they have a +2 to-hit bonus, and they also grant +1AC when wielded.

Baseball bats can appear in junk shops. You can also forge a baseball bat by combining a club with a rubber hose.

SpliceHack added this encyclopedia entry:

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
[ Casey at the Bat, by Ernest Lawrence Thayer ]
