When you go to your game tomorrow, you pick up my bat. Louisville Slugger TPSFP 34/27. No 2000 stamp or anything else. Not on the 2004 ASA Banned List.

Now what? Do you use your own judgment? It's not a very hi-tech looking bat; cheap CU31 Aluminum Alloy. Is it OK, or are you going to your car to check the Approved List?

If you do go to the car, you won't find it listed on the 2004 ASA Approved list? So it doesn't have a stamp; it's not banned, and it is not approved. Now what?

In NFHS I would not allow it - No Stamp, No Go
In ASA I would - Per Rule 3 which NFHS does not support which gives Umpire discretion on older non stamped bats
