Baseball Bats

Can baseball bats be carried on the plane if they are packaged in a sealed box? My boys just got a new wood bat in Cooperstown NY and need to get them home to California. Thanks!

No, as per TSA baseball bats must be checked.  Go to the TSA "What Can I Bring?" page then search for bat, this is what is there now:

 

"Baseball Bats
  • Carry On Bags: No
  • Checked Bags: Yes

Sports equipment that can be used as a bludgeon (such as bats and clubs) is prohibited in the cabin of the plane and must be transported in your checked baggage."
