It just came to me that PF must have burned the bat in that fire. Baseball bats are made of high grade hickory, which is an extremely dense wood that's hard to start on fire. It is also not a tree that can grow in Colorado. Any wooden bat made in the last forty years has the trademark laser cut into the face, opposite the grain. The reason is that the bat has the most strength with the grain, so a baseball batter always swings with the trademark up, facing the batter. That face of the bat is the most difficult part to burn, and the laser cutting upsets the dense cellular wood structure much deeper into the wood that the older method of branding. My guess is that 3-4 hours burning might consume the handle, but that thickest part where the trademark is might be reasonably intact, under a thick coating of black soot from identifiable burnt plastic. I'm sure the searchers at the dump have that potential object close to the top of their wish-to-find list. IMO
