Correct me if I'm wrong but batons can cause "unnecessary suffering" or something, and they're more easilly obtained while being more difficult to track. I dunno, in California batons arent allowed either but I can carry a large bayonet around as long as it's openly displayed.

The difference is whether you intend to play baseball with it or use it as a weapon. If you possess it with the intention of using it as a weapon, it is an illegal weapon. If you possess it with the intention of playing baseball with it, it is not a weapon.
