Scott,
I'll agree that at the Fed level, with no state sanctioning/ruling body input, an ASA stamp may not be present on a legal bat. However, in Pennsylvania, if a bat does not have the permenent stamp/seal - I am not to search the list of legal bats, I do not allow the bat to be used, period.
Even in ASA, I do not want to have the option that I have for older bats - I manufactured prior to 2000, this bat would have passed the standards test. I am not qualified to determine whether a bat would or would not have passed the standards test. That's a lousy position for ASA to have put their umpires in. I kinda resent that - they should have the balls to state their standard and the balls to stick to their standard. Apparently, the powers that be, don't.
