An artist designed baseball bats that feature Jackie Robinson's face on the top

Nearly 70 years after breaking in with the Brooklyn Dodgers, the legacy of Jackie Robinson still lingers -- from all the players for whom he paved the way to his No. 42 retired in every Major League park. Still, considering his place in the history of the game, he can't be honored enough. And artist Rob Ferrel has found one of the most inventive ways yet: He put Robinson's face on a bat.

We wouldn't recommend actually stepping up to the plate with it, though.
