A few weeks later he went out and found the mailbox cracked, but a metal bat was laying on the ground by the driveway... I'll bet that kid broke his wrist
My dad built one like that, too, except it was all 1/4" steel, including the mailbox. Concrete-filled post and everything. We used to sit out at night in lawn chairs in the dark and in the shadows and watch the carnage. Mailbox baseball made a lot of high schoolers cry.
