"Further, the government should not be involved in deciding what kind of equipment is used to play a game. The decision should be made by the sport's own governing body."
If you know it or not, the government is involved regulating everything from the grass seed to to the fence surrounding the baseball field. Any bureaucrat or politician worth his/her salt is on constant look out for new ways or things to regulation to increase job securiety and/or protect the public from themselves because they are too stupid to know what is dangourous and what isn't. The government always knows better than parents. The government knows this because they know parents aren't smart enough to make thier own decisions, let alone decide what is safe for thier children.
Wait til they mandate foam rubber bats for the good of "the children"
