The much beloved "Narn Bat Squad" refers to a brief scene (I forget the
name
of the episode) where the Earth forces were invading B5. As the
Earthies'
boarding pod approached the station, they had this quick shot of Narns
running past the arming station grabbing bats/clubs from a rack.
I believe that is where the term comes from...
