Russians Buy Half A Million Bats Per Year...But Don't Play Baseball

  • 7 years ago
It sounds like a riddle: Russians don't play baseball, but they buy 500,000 bats per year. Why?

The answer: Road rage.

Bats are often kept in cars as weapons to be used in road rage incidents. The baseball bats can be bought anywhere — even at gas stations.

Russians may not yet appreciate baseball, but it turns out they'll still go to bat.
