For that specific reason, there are those who believe that taping over the safety knob should not be allowed.

And that specific reason was rejected by ASA, so what is so hard for your guys to accept?

Uhhh... I do accept it, Mike. 🙂

At no point in time have I ever said that covering the safety knob is illegal. All I have said was that the concern was valid, but that's where it ends. Period.

No comments about my vision, please... 😀

I really don't know what their deal is. They're looking for something that just isn't there.

Or it is there and someone covered it up with tape 😀

Crap, I've got enough to worry about with bat doctors. Now I've gotta worry about rule book doctors? 😮

Send them to Seattle Metro. We have a meeting coming up, and could use some cookies.

Ok. How would you rule if the ball is intentionally put into play by the knob of a bat that has been taped over?

Same as if the ball is put into play if hit off the tape on the handle of the bat, fair or foul, maybe dead, depending upon what happened with the ball.

Mike's point is that while the hands are not part of the bat, the knob is still part of the bat.

However, you'd have to be damn certain that the ball did not touch any part of the player's body (ie. hands, wrists, sleeves, etc.) before you rule the ball live.
