Where Is The Sportsmanship?

Rolled bats are banned from our league (BOTH leagues) and yet more people are swinging them than ever before.

If you are caught with a rolled bat you will be suspended for a minimum of 1 year – along with your team rep.

I think the people using these altered bats have no concept of sportsmanship, safety or fair play. These bats are dangerous and they negate our insurance in the process. The people who need to enhance their performance with altered equipment disgust me as they walk around our park acting like they are great hitters when it is just their rolled bat talking.

If you can’t beat my team fairly, then don’t beat us at all. If you can,I will be the first to congratulate you.

PUT THE ROLLED BATS AWAY AND PLAY THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY!!!!
