NOTICE TO PARENTS, PLAYERS AND LEAGUES: IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A NEW COMPOSITE METAL BAT FOR USE IN LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL (Major Division and below), BE SURE THAT THE BAT YOU ARE PURCHASING HAS THIS MARKING: BPF 1.15 ON THE BARREL OR HANDLE OF THE BAT. IF NOT, IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES.
Little League officials are aware that there are bats for sale in stores, online or that may have already been purchased that are Little League approved, but do not have the required bat performance standard (BPF) markings. In fact, some of the bats on the Little League approved bat list may not carry the required BPF 1.15 marking on the bat, depending on when they were manufactured and licensed. Currently manufacturers are conducting an inventory and re-testing of all approved bats. The results of this study / retesting is to be finished by March 31, 2009. We are building a list of certain bats that are approved, but do not have the BPF marking due to special circumstances. For these bats, we are extending eligibility for play until December 31, 2009. As we are made aware of bats that meet our criteria for this extension, we will add them to the list. Please check this list regularly for updates. HOWEVER, ONLY BATS WITH THE BPF 1.15 MARKING AND THE BATS ON THIS LIST WILL BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN 2009.
Bats with the special exception include the following:
Adidas Vanquish Blue design (There is a newer model of this bat, also named the Vanquish and it has copper and black markings. It contains the proper labeling and therefore is not subject to the one-year rule).
Columbus 12-11-08 – The Ohio Sports Turf Managers Association (OSTMA) recently held its annual meeting and awards presentation at the Sports Turf Show in Columbus, Ohio.
During the meeting, Englewood Little League was presented with the Field Of Distinction Award. The award is sponsored by Profile Products and was presented to Chris Eifert by Jake Tyler, Sports Turf Manager of the Toledo Mud hens. The award is an annual presentation. Chuck Shelly, University of Dayton Facilities Management and member of the OSTMA nominated ELL’s Centennial Park Fields. An all-volunteer crew, with a minimal budget, maintains the Centennial Park fields. Centennial was also the host site for the 2008 Senior League State Championship, and has hosted several other state events in previous years.
Mike Stoffel, ELL President, commented on the award, “The fact we are able to maintain our fields at such a high level with an all volunteer staff is a credit to all of the people involved in our league.“
