Re: ASA bat announcement

Kudos to ASA for not banning anything new as Championship Play and other playoffs/tourneys are coming soon. Whatever the standard for 2004, that's fine -- everyone can adjust by then. A July ban would have been very problematic for a lot of players, leagues and umpires.

It will be interesting to see where the performance line is drawn when the new standard is applied -- i.e., which bats are out and which bats are in for 2004.
I think the lawyers made this call. Any bats banned this year would have not been as devastating as last year as most of those that would have been dumped are already banned at the local level.

Besides, the bats which they are talking about are the ones the players have been calling to be banned since April.
