That bat was banned for this past season, let alone an upcoming seasons.

The old list has zero standing as of 12:01 A.M. January 1, 2004. Supposedly, there will be no grandfathering as all bat models which expect to become approved MUST go through the new testing. Since Worth just recently dropped their lawsuit, the manufacturers are just beginning to submit their new and existing models for testing.

All new legal bats will carry the 2004 ASA certification stamp. All other bats will appear on either a list of approved bats or banned bats.
