This will make the list a LOT shorter!

I'm pretty sure they already do that.

Sort of. They currently have a list of non-approved bats, but the list includes the bats' pictures and turns it into 2 pages.

What they don't have is a list of bats with stamps that are unapproved. That would be an even MORE helpful list with the requirement for a stamp. Bat check becomes:

1) Bat have a stamp? No - OUT.
2) Yes, is bat one of the 2 (or 10, but very short list) unapproved bats with a stamp? Yes - OUT
3) No - Allowed

Well, 24 bats on one list would bring it back down to a page, as opposed to the nearly 4-page list with 101 bats.

You know, that brings up an interesting question... What's going to happen to the "Approved Bats" list? Worth made a bat (SSEST, if I remember correctly) that's on the approved list, but not all of them have stamps. Some were simply manufactured prior to 2000.
