FED bat rule--what will it be like?

[oregonblue]

Even though the plate conference questions about legality of equipment can ameliorate the umpires liability exposure, there are still admonishments in the NFHS book to inspect all equipment [bats, batting helmets, catcher's gear(yes, I know, 2003!)]. IMHO, youse guys are playing with fire there in the Sunshine state.
