Physics and Baseball
Well, those are certainly two of my favorite subjects! Check out these 5000 frame-per-second videos highlighting some fantastic physics (with accompanying explanations) of contact between bats and balls.
(Tip of the cap to Michael Woods.)
Update (10/23/12): And on that note, take a look at the video in this article. The bat and ball contacted each other 3 times!
