Baseball bat (Fallout: New Vegas)

The baseball bat is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
A two-handed blunt melee weapon once used as baseball sporting gear before the Great War, since repurposed for violent purposes like many things in the wasteland. It has the second highest durability of all blunt melee weapons (below only the cattle prod) which, combined with its relative availability in the early game, makes it a viable choice for a melee-focused character to use.
Visually, the weapon is identical to its counterpart in Fallout 3, consisting of a wooden body and a handle, with the inscription "Since 1879" below a circled uppercase cursive "B" near the middle of the body.
===Special attack===
The baseball bat can perform a Grand Slam special attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Grand Slam outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The baseball bat can successfully strike about 1,995 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Gun Runners' Arsenal baseball bat - the customizable variant added with Gun Runners' Arsenal.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* Goodsprings - One is carried by a member of the Powder Gangers at the battle during Ghost Town Gunfight.
* North sewers - Greasy Johnny's gang members often holds them.
* Commonly found with Fiends.
* One can be found beside Old Lady Gibson's bed.
==Notes==
Despite its low attack value, the baseball bat at full condition and with a moderate Barter skill level can be sold for around 250 caps.
==Behind the scenes==
In the sport of baseball, a "grand slam" occurs when a home run is scored while all the bases are "loaded" or occupied by baserunners, thereby scoring four home runs, the most possible on a single play.
