This junior bat is simple to make yourself. Just don't let little ones drink the soda to empty the bottle!

Wash and dry an empty 2-liter soda bottle. Fortify with an 18-inch dowel rod (put rod in bottle, secure with a wood screw, finish with duct tape). Use with wiffle balls, Nerf balls, wadded socks, beanbags, etc.
