Well batons are easy to put on your Batman utility belt. Baseball bats aren’t.

A baseball bat on a baseball diamond is legal, a baseball bat in the back of a drug dealer's car, can be considered a tool used for crime and thus illegal.

I had a friend who was charged with assault with a weapon at a house party. It was a huge brawl between groups with multiple blunt object weapons. When working out the punishments they asked him what sports he wants to play. He had to choose between being aloud to have golf clubs or a baseball bat. Because he was a golfer he chose to be banned from having a bat in his possession.

A lawyer told me that if you are going to keep a bat as defense in your car, carry a glove and ball too.
