This BoingBoing posting draws attention to the seemingly strange pink bats in a confiscation display at the Louisville airport. (The Louisville Slugger baseball bat is still the leading brand of baseball bat in the U.S., and I guess they have a factory store in Louisville or something.)
I can explain the pink bats. They are an artifact of the annual Breast Cancer Awareness day held throughout Major League Baseball (and, I believe, by many minor league teams). Among the activities and special events, some players use pink bats as part of an effort to raise awareness about the disease. Just do a Flickr search for "pink bat."
