If I were in her shoes, I would say "Oh, thank you, bush leaguer for the bat, but I had rather have a Brian Giles autographed bat than yours"!
Baseball is sweeping this one under the rug by claiming he was only trying to have "fun"! What a joke, some idiot knocks down a mascot with a bat and then says, "I didn't swing at her, only at the top of the mascot"! This is still a deplorable action, put on by a bush leaguer!
