WWTB,

Apparently Mass. tried it in the past:

Also, there was a recent story in the Chicago Trib. about the Park Ridge Park District banning "large-barrel" bats at their fields and Schaumburg limiting metal bats to those with "wood-like" BESR ratings. The Tribune article also says North Dakota high schools will be banning non-wood bats starting next year.

Deerfield holds a wooden bat tourney every summer that my team plays in.

(Edited to reflect what the Trib article actually said instead of my faulty recollection of what it said.)
