Let me tell you something, Phillip. If you are going to be an advocate for a cause, you need to get your information straight.
In softball, aluminum is not an issue. We would all be a lot better off if the bats were restricted to aluminum. It is the composite bats that may be an issue.
Also, if you wave a dollar sign in front of someone as your defense, you've already lost. You will never win an financial vs. safety argument, especially when it comes to children.
The selling point is two-fold. 1) There is zero evidence that any child has suffered an injury due to the use of a non-wood bat that would not have occurred had a wooden bat be used and 2) Keep the government's nose out of the business of a group of people whom have voluntarily joined a program with full and complete knowledge of the equipment available for use.
