Yes Little league in our day was all wood bats, jammed by a fastball the bat would give you a "funny" feeling up your arms. Our little league was so Poor, we would nail the splintered bats back together and wrap with Black electrical tape. I remember one of my favorite bats "Rico Carty edition" getting splintered beyond repair, my batting average suffered tremondously.
BTW anyone see the last inning of the Little League Championship, great entertainment, the way baseball should be played (without the metal bats though) The Georgia little league could beat my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates.:lol:
