What do you do with a bat on the field? Give it to the batboy, of course!

But on Wednesday night, this took on a whole new meaning for Atlanta Braves batboy Will Kearney when a live bat fell onto the field. Kearney handled it with care for a half inning before letting it go. The bat then flew off happily ever after.
