1. A baseball bat handle weight for attaching to a handle end of a baseball bat, the handle end having a knob having a larger diameter than a diameter of the handle of the baseball bat, the baseball bat handle weight comprising:
a body having an axis, wherein the body is cylindrical in a direction along the axis, wherein the body has a first end that is flat and defines a plane perpendicular to the axis of the body, and the body has a second end that is flat and defines a plane perpendicular to the axis of the body;
a transverse hole formed through the body, perpendicular to the axis, that is bounded by an inner wall in the body that extends from a first side of the body to a second side of the body that is opposite the first side on the body, the transverse hole forming a knob insertion opening at the first side of the body, the knob insertion opening having a first diameter at the first side of the body, the transverse hole being defined by the inner wall which extends into the body perpendicular to the axis of the body a first distance from the first side at the first diameter along the first distance to approximately a middle of the body between the first side of the body and the second side of the body, the inner wall of the transverse hole having an inward tapered portion after the first distance in the transverse hole along a second distance in a direction toward the second side from the first side, wherein the inner wall of transverse hole narrows to a second diameter at a bottom of the inward tapered portion, wherein the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter, and wherein the bottom of the inward tapered portion forms a shoulder in the transverse hole that is closer to the second side of the body than to the first side of the body, and wherein the inner wall continues a third distance from the bottom of the inward tapered portion to the second side of the body at the second diameter; and
a handle slot formed in the body that extends into the body to the transverse hole the handle slot extends on a front side, and from the first side at the knob insertion opening to the second side of the body, and aligned with the transverse hole, and having a width in a direction parallel to the axis of the body that is equal to the second diameter along the entirety of the handle slot from the first side to the second side.
