In a hilarious skit, comedian Pat McGann critiques the trend of expensive equipment in youth baseball. He jokes, "You've seen four good pitches all year, why is your bat $560?" and adds, "You've got $4,000 worth of bats in the dugout, we have two hits."

His humorous take on the overemphasis on high-end gear over fundamental skills resonated with Greg Olsen, Coach RAC and Coach Ballgame.

Olsen laughed at the accuracy of the joke.

Coach RAC remarked, "If I'm not hitting that good with my bat, I realize my bat isn't the problem, and kids should probably realize that too."

Coach Ballgame reminisced about simpler times: "I love when the whole team is sharing one bat and wearing that thing out until it was dented."
