My Grandpa (Sam) recently passed away, I’ve been playing while I’ve been dealing with his passing. He was a huge baseball fan (his team was the NY Yankees) and I was hoping to be able have some small tribute to him. Thank you all for your time and consideration.

This would be a neat addition, especially given the sentimental value it holds for you. Do you have any ideas for the Slugger weapon's stats?

Maybe it should rarely hit a flaming ball, which makes a whistling sound as it travels.

That would be cool! Maybe give the flaming balls some sort of bonus (faster velocity, inflicts on fire, auto-crit, etc.).

This is a really cool idea. It would be neat if it worked like the Tree Sword from the Frost Moon (I forgot it's exact name). I also have a somewhat decent idea for something like this, but in pre-hardmode.

It could be made with 5 wood and 15 acorns at a workbench, and it would have swing speed comparable to the wooden sword. The bat would deal 5 damage and 7 knockback. Every swing, the bat would launch an acorn, which has a velocity of 3.5, does 2 knockback, and has damage dependent on how far it's flown (from 1 damage at point-blank to 15 damage at very far range). It would definitely be a short-lived weapon, but it would still be neat.

Perhaps the baseball zombie could also have a chance drop a Baseball Mitt accessory that increases the velocity of all throwing weapons and melee projectiles by 1, and increases their damage a bit as well?
