- Baseball bats are popular weapons. They're commonly considered as such in Real Life in any country where baseball isn't that big. Hell, it's sort of like that even in the ones where baseball is a big deal. Brits or Aussies could substitute a cricket bat -- artfully described on the Cricket Rules page as "flat on one side, making it ideal for hitting people who owe you money without leaving a bruise. The flatness also gives it edges, for when you do want to leave a bruise". Overlaps with instances of Improbable Weapon User, Weapon of Choice and Improvised Weapon. Subtrope of I Know Madden Kombat. Compare Wooden Katanas Are Even Better. Also compare Carry a Big Stick for big sticks specifically designed as weapons. Telephone Polearm is a subtrope for very large instances instances of this. Not to be confused with the aggressive use of little nocturnal flying mammals, or the use of a pancake mixture as a weapon. Also not to be confused with Home Run Hitter, although they do occasionally overlap. Examples of Batter Up include:
- Batter Up comes in three levels. Level 1 costs 500BP; level 2 4000BP; level 3, 12000BP.
- Doc has invented special glasses and a body suit that simulate the ideal skills for a baseball player. After Jules shows Marty an old baseball card depicting a distant relative, Pee Wee McFly, Marty and the boys make a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, September 1, 1897. On September 2 of that year, Pee Wee had retired after losing the game that would have won the 1897 National League Pennant Race for the Boston Beaneaters. Upon arriving in Boston on the day before Pee Wee's mistake, the guys discover that Pee Wee McFly pitching that game as well, with Boston leading the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4. Marty inadvertently interferes with history when he yells "Hey, cousin!" to the pitcher, who is distracted and knocked unconscious by a baseball. Using Doc's inventions, as well as a fake mustache, Marty "steps in" for Pee Wee and wins the game. Instead of being thankful, Pee Wee is terrified - he is being pressured to "throw" the games by Diamond Jim Tannen, a Boston gangster who has bet on Baltimore to win the pennant. Diamond Jim warns Pee Wee to lose the September 2 game, or face serious injury. When Marty casually says "Get out of town!" to his 1897 relative, Pee Wee takes the advice to heart and hops on a streetcar on its way out of Boston. Marty then makes plans to impersonate Pee Wee once more, and to win the September 2 game that his distant cousin had lost. With Doc's invention, Marty helps Boston take the lead. Realizing that Pitcher McFly isn't throwing the game, Diamond Jim rushes the field and attacks Marty until the police take him away. Marty is uninjured, but his cheating aids have been damaged and the malfunctioning glasses cause him to become disoriented. Thanks to Marty's bad pitching, Baltimore takes an 10-9 lead, and the McFly name is once more destined for ruin. Pee Wee, who had contemplated sailing back to his native Ireland, returns to the stadium, takes over from Marty, and wins the game and the 1897 National League pennant. After returning to the future (1991), Marty, Verne and Jules play a game of baseball. Marty, in hitting the ball for a home run, also destroys a shop window in Hill Valley, breaking the glass. Doc Brown, in the shop at the time, leaves before anyone can blame his family for the destruction.
