There is a great passion from the "posters" regarding wood bats.
As you maybe aware, I have organized and promoted many Area Code and Goodwill Series events since 1987, using wood bats.
Yesterday, while watching a High School game in Santa Rosa, a former high school coach is planning his 25th Easter Tournament. He mentioned the recent
tragic injury of Gunnar Sandberg.
I said "why do you not make your tournament this year with wood bats"? It is his tournament and he can make the decision without the school board.
Each of the communicators on this web site have the opportunity to influence local coaches and local organizers of tournaments that are separate from predetermined "metal bat policy".
Goodwill Series is currently planning 6 tournaments this summer using wood bats. This will involve 50 teams.
If you need help or a guideline for "making a difference", please reply. The use of wood bats
can be achieved by teams, tournaments, leagues, associations and your continued support.
