This ranks up there as one of the more ridiculous safety overkills I believe I have ever seen.

What would happen if the player and her parents refused to surrender the bat? I suspect I would have refused. I know the "letter" in the link says check the NSA rules if that occurs, but I don't have their rule book nor the energy to check what it says. I do suspect that many would likely refuse and I'm not sure what they can do about it legally. Presumably eject the player, but who wants to continue play under those circumstances. Also, is there no room for umpire judgement that the injury was just an accident, unrelated to equipment?

Illegal Bat rule is on page 13...to long to cut and paste into here.

As I read that book, refusal to allow the bat to be inspected initiates an automatic 5 year suspension from NSA.
