Softball

I can't say enough good things about aluminum baseball and softball bats.  Pound for pound, they're one of the most useful tools available in a zombie apocalypse.  They're light.  You can put them in a backpack or just carry them in your hand.  They're available.  If you check the garage of suburbia in middle America, nine out of the ten of them are going to have one, and odds are, they'll have more than one.  Just carrying one identifies you as "not a zombie" as I have yet to see a zombie wield a bat.  They're a bludgeoning weapon, so less blood splatter, especially important since most zombie blood is contagious.  I mean, they're great!  You can use them to prop stuff up and pry things open.  In a pinch, they can even be used to signal people or grab attention, zombie or otherwise.  They're heavy enough to be devastating, but light enough to swing all afternoon.  I just can't say enough good things!  My favorite for zombie killing are the large softball bats, which a wide barrel and a thin handle.  They are a zombie-killing home run!
