Absolutely nonsensical list, it would make as much sense to have a list of books that mention water or list of movies that show a car. While maybe a list of video games about baseball might be defensible (although questionable), this is completely useless. AryKun (talk) 12:37, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - completely non-notable and nonsensical cross-section of traits. I have no idea why it would be of interest to read or even write such an article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:00, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The list's definition makes it two unrelated lists combined: a list of games using baseball bats as weapons, and a list of games using baseball bats to play baseball (or something similar). That means it's useless both to a hypothetical reader who is interested in misappropriation of sports items for violence, and a hypothetical reader interested in games about baseball. And both of these hypothetical readers will probably do better to use Google anyway. Elemimele (talk) 13:24, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It is very surprising that this got approved through AfC by User:AssumeGoodWraith given that it is a textbook indiscriminate list without any sourcing whatsoever, it casts doubt on their reviewing ability if they seriously thought that was a good idea. Suffice it to say that even if it was sourced and fully expanded, it would remain too trivial to merit a list (or category, for that matter), just as a hypothetical list of games containing chainsaws or water guns would be. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:56, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Gotta be honest, didn't review this thoroughly enough. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 14:33, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't imagining the article existed. This should be a SNOW delete. Spf121188 (talk) 14:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I propose that the Wikimedia Foundation should spend 10% of its FY2022 budget on buying every video game ever made to check for the presence of baseball hats. I am also extremely disappointed that Team Fortress 2 isn't on this list. Padgriffin ^{Griffin's Nest} 15:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely unencylopedic cross-categorization, using zero sources. And they didn't even put EarthBound on the list! Rorshacma (talk) 16:08, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE, WP:LISTCRIT. Don't need to pile on more. Jip Orlando (talk) 17:27, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW delete A list of baseball video games would be challenging to ensure it wasn't incomplete, but it's a notable topic with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. A list of video games where a baseball bat is present is not at all a notable topic for a list. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:41, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete delete per all above. Swing and a miss. Oaktree b (talk) 20:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "MLB2K had its first recreational-use bats added in the first game". Is this article a joke? 😂 NOTDIR. Nate • (chatter) 21:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is clearly a crippling Snowstorm. Spf121188 (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Allow - Due to the overwhelming hatred towards the articles, and the fact that I can't believe I made it, I'll give the thumb up to deletion. The article was a mistake and I regret it.

Seriously. Why did I think this was a good idea. Mobius Gerig (talk) 21:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Think it is time to knock this out of the Wikipark and into the delete bucket.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:27, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
