The best suggestion I can give you is to treat those bats like a used car that had body work. Look for ANY blemish in the paint finish, look for any overspray or paint overrun on the endcaps or the grips. Make sure that the Freak logo is perfectly flush, and not a raised logo.

Finally, I believe that you have the final judgment in a pregame bat check. If you doubt that bat, simply state that it cannot be used that night "in your judgment". Force the local league to either support you, or overturn you. Either way, they then accept and assume all liability for the results.
