Can someone give us the short version? What is added, subtracted or otherwise changed (besides the date)??

Well, 2 bats were added to the "banned with a 2004 stamp" list.

And the one page list is now two.

the list is getting too long to be useful .....

[NCASAUmp]

No kidding... They added at least 6 or 7 bats since the last list. Haven't had time to parse through to find the additions.

If you look at the list with pictures there are red letters "NEW" beside the new bats that were added, looks like there were 9 added this time.

9! 9 bats! Ah... Ah... Ahhhhhh...

But seriously, it's getting out of hand.

Do the majority of these bats have a 2000 stamp on them? Or is this an all-inclusive list?

If so, require a 2000 or 2004 stamp, get rid of 3-1-A-3, and just print the ones that have the 2000 or 2004 stamps. The bats from 2000 are practically dead (and rare to find these days, even in so-called "beer league"), so just ditch them all.

We have two shorter lists available to us: 1) The banned bats with the 2004 stamp list, and 2) The no-longer grandfathered bats list.

My way of handling this is:

1) No stamp of any kind - out (with the exception of some old bats I recognize - occastionally still used as a "team" bat, such as the old burgandy Lousiville TPS)
2) 2004 stamp and one of the 6 - out
3) 2000 stamp and one of the grandfathered bats - out
4) otherwise, in

Eight of the nine bats added were Worth. I wouldn't doubt if some of these were never meant to be ASA approved.
