If the little donut is sold by DiMarini and is legal, on which MLB club on-deck circle will I find it? Is there a major college baseball team swinging DiMarini bats along with the $7 Dimarini donuts in the on-deck circle?

1) We're discussing (I think) FED rules, so "what's found in MLB on-deck circles" is irrelevant.
2) Just because something isn't found there, doesn't make it illegal. They are just as (or more) susceptible to trends as anyone else.
3) It's possible that having the weight distributed over a larger area provides some benefit to the batter (or at least that someone made that calim). Again, this has nothing to do with legality.
