In looking through the proposed rule changes, I noticed a peculiar change in the wording. On #9 (changing the safety tape to safety "grip" and reducing it to 6"), I noticed that it says that "resin, pine tar or spray substances are permissible on the Safety Grip region only."
Was this the wording that was approved? If so, would that be to say that players can spray their bats up to 15" from the safety knob, even if their grip only extends 6" from the knob?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
