There's only one way to find out. BATTER UP!

It depends on the force used when batting the car. It also depends on the age of the car.
Cos airbags deploys on certain amt of force. This ,i think, depends on the car manufacturer which sets it.
And if the car's old, the mechanism tend to be weak. even with a slightest hit will trigger the airbags.

Most likely not. Airbag deployment in part depends on deceleration or sudden changes in speed or direction of travel, and a baseball bat would be very unlikely to produce that sort of input to the airbag system.
Airbag systems do vary in sensitivity, so it's possible in some cars they could be triggered. It's better not to test the premise.

No-- you can not develop the amount of energy force to the car with a baseball bat that is needed to deploy.

I would think if you were to hit the location where the sensor is, the airbag may deploy.

i believe the impact has to have about 600lbs of force in order to deploy the airbags if you were to hit it head on and about 300lbs if you were to hit it from directly ontop of the hood, so there's your answer. NO

it definetely would not my friend....as the entire deployment mechanism works on a gas container breaking open and helium filling the air bags...so it is highly unlikely that a human being could hit the car in the front so hard that the gas container breaks...in short.....NOOOO

no there needs to be a much greater impact than that
