When`s the last time we actually saw a bat get removed from a game? Nobody has this list of serial and model numbers memorized and checks each opponents` bat as they come to the plate. Well, maybe Pugger.
The banned list is humourous, if anything besides useless. We need the umpires to concentrate on game matters, not illegal equipment. The stores should stop selling the stuff, it`s not our job to police this crap.
