Thanks for the info! I've already decided to let Teja run off with his bat during his first at bat, and get told off for it. It is, after all, just a spontaneous, virtual game outside the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, so I guess no personalised bats or anything overly fancy. They'll probably have two or three bats to chose from; I'll have to ask about that in the plotting post. I think Teja is going for a bat made of harder wood, because he will expect to hit hard, as a former (now dead) wielder of battle-axes.
