My pi$$ing into the wind detector has detected much pi$$ing into the wind.

Do I care? Damn right.
Do I care THAT much. No. At least probably not enough to suit someone.
Will I toss a bat that ain't legal? Hell yes. I've tossed three bats in a slow pitch league this year that had the 2004 mark. (They were not legal for other means, including flat spots, etc.) (Second thought: Maybe THAT is why I didn't get any more slow pitch assignments!)

In an independent random survey of high school coaches I have dealt with this year, I have found exactly two carrying the approved list with their bats marked.

One coach who told me he didn't have a list had a novel explanation: "We don't have any team bats. All the girls have their own bats, so it's not up to me to have a list on hand." I kid you not, those were his exact words. Unfortunately, all of his girls' bats were approved with 2004 stamps.
