Bat Hanger Device

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a bat hanger device comprised of a base plate with at least two curved protruding arms that secure a baseball bat vertically in the air. The base plate of the device also has at least one continuous opening that can be received by at least one clip, that allows the device to be secured to a chain-link fence. One embodiment of the device may also comprise at least one magnet in the base plate, which further aids in securing a baseball bat on the device. Accordingly, the device retains a baseball bat in a position above a ground surface and away from the fence to which the device is attached.
