There are certain kinds of images that strike me each summer. A pitcher with his arm twisted into an improbable, if not impossible, position. A vivid sunset beyond the outfield fence. A section of fans reacting to a foul ball. The long shadows of late August and September.

And a bat being shattered. Like this one.
