Thanks Mike. The reason I am obsessed with this is that I am changing the ball that we use in a league that I help run to the new ASA ball, and I wanted written justification for doing it.

I know some hitters will complain -- likely the ones who have no business hitting HRs -- but ASA was right on the money safety-wise and I want to make sure to use that ball. I hope the leagues in which I umpire (ASA and USSSA) do the same. ASA showed great leadership in taking the lead on this issue.

[I just wish they would have included it in the recent press release along with the changes made in November, maybe with an asterisk noting that the changes were made in July].
I have been told there are no USSSA rule changes this year.

What type of league are you helping with?
