I'm pretty sure it is the same for Fed ball in other states, but in Pennsylvania, that is not a legal bat for school games. Even though it would be for ASA games. ASA is a bit more lenient with bats than Fed is - Fed sez no certification imprint/mark/whatever means not legal. Sounds like that umpire was correct in not allowing the bat to be used and wasn't correct when he stated there was no list. I carry the non-approved list. I do not carry the approved list.
