Came from our high school Interscholastic Athletic Association State Director by way of my association president. Sure looked official to me.

Okay...the chair of the FED rules committee rules the bats illegal and a piece of FED letterhead states that the bats are legal.

I hope y'all don't mind some of us waiting until FED speaks with one voice,

What I saw came from Elliot Hopkins. I believe he is the NFHS director of educational services and liaison to the Baseball Rules Committee.

I also posted this on NFHS forum: Can you please show some documentation that this is correct? I cannot find anything on the FED website or anywhere else that this is correct.

I can't wait to let a kid use one.

The New York State Baseball Umpires Assn has posted a notice on their web site saying the message is from FED.

Kevin, the bat is so expensive, some schools and parents may buy it and then not let anyone use it at that price.
