Well, yeah, baseball bat has 'ganger' written all over it. In fact, my only ganger character was a shaman (3e) with 'Dago Wolf' (somewhere between Wolf and Dog) as a totem; his favorite spell was 'Wrecker' (essentially Powerbolt, only vs. vehicles), for which he had a spellcasting focus - a baseball bat. They called him 'Doorman' because one of the quirks of his magic was that the first stage of damage to the vehicle would result in at least one of its doors getting ripped off.
The Leathercoats was a great gang; they were kind of a 'social/neighborhood protection' gang; to join you had to be able to make at least a jacket (which they then sewed onto an armored jacket) out of the skins of animal threats you'd killed. Most of them started out with devil rat jackets, but you could, of course, upgrade as you killed nastier threats. While generally sentients like ghouls didn't count, Doorman had a longcoat made from the hide/pelt of a bandersnatch.
