What is an example of homographs?

Here's an example of homographs:

Word: "Bat"

* Meaning 1: A nocturnal flying mammal (as in, "The bat flew out of the cave.")

* Meaning 2: A piece of equipment used in baseball (as in, "The batter swung the bat.")

As you can see, the word "bat" has two distinct meanings, but is spelled the same way. This makes it a homograph.
