Two reasons:
1. While I agree with you that a good bat will make a HUGE difference for some of the people on the team, it will make ZERO difference for others. We have people (girls) who are lucky to make contact and get the ball to the pitcher, for example. An expensive bat will do nothing for them, so I see no reason for them to have to pay for it.
2. I'd rather not everyone use the bat. Bats only have so many hits in them, so why should the people I mentioned in #1 even use the bat? Let's save it for the people who will get something out of it.
I thought I could hopefully solve both problems by saying that I'm buying the bat, but would appreciate a one time $10 donation from anyone who plans to use it regularly. That way, not everyone will have to kick in money, but this will also limit the number of people who use it, as well. I'll guess that maybe 5 people will pay the $10, but that's fine with me...
BTW, I'm leaning towards the . This isn't the most expensive bat out there, but it's got great reviews and would be a HUGE improvement for us...
Dick's has it for $250, but I've seen it online for as low as $200 + shipping.
