Rolled Bats

Frankly, a messageboard I run for the benefit of our local softball programs is funded by Google ads; I put the search script in the header, and they pay me $200 a year.

I had the same moral question, posed so I researched the site(s). At that time, each clearly stated their product was illegal for ASA and other association play, and only intended for home run competitions and similar exhibitions. I reasoned that, while they may be enablers, they aren't breaking the rules; someone who knowingly uses one of their bats in real games is the pond scum.

Not very different from advertising firearms; it is legal to sell them, legal to own them. Just illegal if used inappropriately. I don't pretend there is Constitutional protection to own altered bats, but the same philosophy applies; altered bats don't bring themselves to ball games, or decide when to be used.
