Batting Cage at dicks

[billwill]

Trying to confirm but saw a spot on the news that Dick's is installing batting cages at stores to replace the evil items they banned from stores. This will give kids/people a chance to try out different bats.

Well maybe that will attract customers. But doesn't everybody have a baseball bat behind the door next to that evil item? Did somebody learn that biz model at Wharton?

From the FBI, more killed with "Blunt objects" (which would be the bat catagory) than ALL rifles.

There's a batting cage facility 12 blocks from us that my grandson uses.

We're good.

Threads about anything going on at Dick's don't usually end well here.

Just sayin'...

I really could care less what Dick's does or doesn't do. They are on my proscribed list and are a no enter zone for me and my money. I know that my not buying anything from them won't put them in bankruptcy, but if enough other people feel and act as I do it will do so. I drove by the one in Lafayette last Saturday and the parking lot in front of it looked kind of sparsely populated.

Sounds like a good spot to try out that new skeet gun

It's true, it even made CNN today; the announcers (they are no longer reporters) praised Dick's for their "positive" approach.

Honestly can't remember last time I was in a DSG store. Normally I would only go there to buy cheap golf balls - nut no more.

I drove by a Dicks today. Think there was 3 cars in the lot. Probably employees.

I drove by the Dick's in Lafayette again today from a shopping spree for a new push mower and there were around 6 cars in front of it. And that is a big store in a fancy and rather new shopping center, so I am sure rent isn't cheap on it.

But they do end.

In before the lock.

I would take the kids there to use the batting cages, then go somewhere else to buy the bat.[emoji1]

I wouldn't go there for any reason.

I'll bet you own a GSD.

Don’t care.

But wouldn't using the batting cage result in giving them some money? Or do they let you use it for free?

If its free and puts no money in their till, then sure I'd do that.

I wonder how they figure that is a better liability risk. Some kid takes one to the noggin....

Yep mine is a Roger Maris Louisville Slugger and of all things I also have a throwing Hawk very close too

If someone is killed with a baseball bat, I guess there goes the bats for sale. Maybe they could sell something nonviolent say like....goldfish

Nerf ball bats.
