Dossier
The Baseball Bat is the Leonida default. Every corner store, every garage, every car trunk. It does not show up on a weapon trace. It does not require a background check. It does not make a sound that carries down the street.
The swing arc is wide enough to catch someone moving to the side. The weight favours downward strikes on anyone who gets in close. Against a single opponent in a confined space it is more decisive than it looks. Against a group it becomes a problem quickly.
Vice County law enforcement classifies it as a sporting item. That classification holds right up until the moment it does not.

Frequently Asked
Does the Baseball Bat still show up on Vice City streets?
Every block. Brawls, quick corrections, disputes that don't need explaining later. No permits required, no ballistic evidence. It's the most common blunt instrument in Leonida for a reason.
Where can you get the Baseball Bat in Leonida?
Ammu-Nation is the confirmed weapon retailer in Leonida — Phil Cassidy's name is on the billboard. Specific stock, pricing, and unlock conditions aren't confirmed yet.
Is it useful when someone pulls a firearm?
Not at range. In enclosed spaces or when noise is a problem it closes the gap. Against a firearm at any real distance, the math doesn't work in your favour.
