The Baseball Bat or Slugger is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics. In Fallout 3, the bat is branded on one side with a machine-caligraphed "B" in an ovoid shape. Beneath the logo are the words "Since 1879," suggesting the bat's manufacturer has been producing sporting goods since the 19th century.

[edit] Fallout 2

A special baseball bat called the Louisville Slugger is available in Fallout 2 as a quest reward.

[edit] Notes

• One can be found on the player character's desk when leaving Vault 101 for the first time. All things considered, Fallout 3's baseball bat is a decent melee weapon for early use and helps to preserve ammunition when starting out in the wasteland. Later, much more powerful melee weapons become available, such as the Ripper and Shishkebab. But can be useful if you have the Takoma Park Little Leaguer cap adding +5 to the baseball bat.  

[edit] Locations

• If the Wasteland Explorer Theme is purchased for the player's home in Megaton, a baseball bat will be included in the setup.
• In Minefield, near the mattress where Arkansas snipes at you.
• In Canterbury Commons, behind the counter next to the bed in Dot's Diner, there is one that when taken is not considered stealing.
• Inside the Anchorage Memorial inside the clinic on a shelf. It is lying next to a dead mercenary.
• There are quite a few located at the Fordham Flash Memorial Field.
• Sometimes a raider will carry one.
