Twice in writing you have set forth your challenge. I assume that if a single bat meets your challenge, that your 100% position will be destroyed.

OK - Dakota did just that. Provided a bat model with 2000 mark not on either list. Now what? Recant? or wiggle?

Question:

Is Dakota's bat legal for ASA Championship play according to the ASA rule book?
Is it legal according to the ASA website?
Is it legal for NFHS play?

The C555 is not the model number; it was a Louisville Slugger marketing name/number, such as many other bats provide, part of a series which also included baseball bats. The proper model number is SB20, according to my research, and it is on the ASA Approved bat list.

Louisville Slugger SB20 approved 5/29/2001

So, yes, legal for ASA championship play.
Yes, legal according to the ASA website.
Yes, legal for NFHS play.

Yes, even a single bat would blow a hole into the process, but it has to be a legitimate bat model number. Not suggesting Dakota intentionally mislead, but that wasn't the model number. If such a bat does exist, then is no wiggle room; I would admit my mistake, and recant my position.
