|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board What substance for burning bat? Jared Dort, Photographer, Photo Editor Cottonwood | AZ | usa | Posted: 12:42 PM on 06.15.04 ->> I've seen this posted before, but had more to do about lighting a baseball. Anyone know the best chemical or substance to light a bat on fire for a portrait??  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I doubt you're going to have the right light to show a flame in motion unless you seriously douse that thing. Another thing you can consider is gluing a bunch of 4th of July sparklers to the bat.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
