My name is Patrick, I am 20 years old and I am from Florida. I have played baseball ever since I could pick up a glove. But the reason I am writing is because I just got done reading brandon's story in ESPN and I can understand your fight to get rid of metal bats. I was  a pitcher for my highschool team as well as my college team. It never crossed my mind how dangerous metal bats can be untill I read stories like brandon's and then I remember times of when I was struck by a ball on the mound. I think it would be a good idea to ban metal bats in little league, highschool , and even in college. I really like the website, you guy's are doing a good job. Also I support your fight to ban metal bats so don't ever give up.
