This sounded like a job for an Easton Hammer not a SY98. This ump knows nothing.
i just went out and measured to the roofline on my 2 story house to the patio.
measures 17.5 feet
so you are saying he threw this bat the equivalent of a 4 story home at 35 feet or a 5 story or better at 45 feet????????
i call BS on that.
Pics of said backstop or TOTAL BS on that height
but i would expect if he tossed some 20 feet and it landed as said i would pretty much expect it to break
measures 17.5 feet

curious to see what the ump would have done if the bat had gotten stuck up there as well.....

I love trolling on here. Ump breaks bat and its the height of the throw in question. Love it!
Seriously though, as an ump and player that has to be the dumbest ump I have ever heard of. In AZ we are General Contractors and would be responsible for breaking that bat.
I would say look you cant just take someones property and throw it in the air. Give me $125.00 for the value of the bat and we wont need to go to small claims etc. If he is still an arse follow him to his vehicle and kick in the driver door.... stand back and assess the damage....then say looks like about $125.00 in damage we are even.

I find it fascinating that this story intrigued you that much that you actually went out and measured your roofline to verify this story either way.
So now for height verification you want the poster to go take a picture of the backstop to prove something to you or you call TOTAL BS, and we all know the consequences of that. Its almost as bad as na, na, na, na, na, na.

It probably does in most states. To some degree I think it should. They didn't tell the ump to do something stupid, so why should they pay out to the guy the ump injured. By the same token, if my employee is blatantly harming my customers you can bet I'll fire him in a second and/or the cost of making the customer happy will he taken from his paycheck. Regardless of how far up the ladder they can be legally held responsible, I'm not impressed with the answer of just leaving it between the ump and the injured party.
