And the FED went to all the trouble of putting their stamp of approval on them too!

I think that the NFHS should be alerted to the fact that manufacturers like Worth, Baden, Pro 9 and even some others like Baseball Express are fraudulently putting the NFHS stamp on their baseballs, when only three companies--according to extensive research--are authorized to do so.

I just looked in my box of baseballs (those that I "forgot" to leave on the plate at the end of the game) and found a Trump MG-BH-T baseball with the NFHS stamp on it.

Oh yeah, Trump!

See what you can come up with when you do some real research?

I bet it's far better than the Trump ball.

Would you be so kind as to point out where I said that other manufactorers are fraudulently putting the NFHS stamp on their baseballs?

Also, explain to me where I used the word extensive and that only three companies are authorized to do so.

I think the problem arises because you were to quick to jump on the SDS bandwagon.

The problem also arises because of your reputation and past behavior on this (and other) boards.

In all fairness, Tyler did not say that the three manufacturers were the exclusive providers of FED-stamped balls, nor did he say that his research was extensive. Had his research been extensive, he would have found other manufacturers as well.

"I did some research and I came up with three manufactorer's that made FED legal baseballs. The three are Rawlings, Wilson and Diamond."

That's exactly what you wrote. Three manufactorer's. With an apostrophe.

So, maybe look at a second or third website before you come out with your findings and it won't look like your final word.
