MoFo Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Just a note to warn Santa on pending moratorium on composite bats from Little League International in case he was planning on bringing your little one a bat. I know those elf's work hard on making them for our little ones.....wink wink....http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/StatementFromLLCompositeBats.htm
OldNedDog Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 12 yr olds and below is not affected this year, if I read it correctly.
MoFo Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Posted December 1, 2010 It is still up in the air Bulldog read the last line of the article. It says LL international will give a clear statement prior to the start of the 2011 season
OldNedDog Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 I will try to keep up with it. Thanks for the heads up, I would be a little perturbed if Santa brought a high $$$ bat that couldn't be used. ;D
MoFo Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Posted December 1, 2010 I agree with that Bulldog, and there goes the used bat resale buisness for awhile.
MoFo Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Posted January 4, 2011 Here is an update on this issue, it appears that Little League international has imposed a ban on ALL composite bats, and select league registration is heard climbing all over America....http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/CompositeBatMoratium.htm?sms_ss=email&at_xt=4d222e2b69386860%2C0
MoFo Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Posted January 4, 2011 I guess moving the pitching mound to 50 feet would be to far of a stretch for little league international to fathom.....no instead lets ban the bats.... Maybe we can all get plastic bats and wiffle balls

pngpurple4ever Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 My son is playing select ball next year and got a new Louisville Slugger Catalyst Composite bat for Christmas. Has anyone heard if Nations Baseball or USSSA Baseball is also planning on banning composite bats?
MoFo Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 The only reason I would have concern about Nations and USSSA is that NCAA and NFHS (National Federation High School Sports) are on board also
