Little League Bat Issue

Little League International Logos

It has been brought to the attention of Little League officials that there are a few bats for sale in stores or that may have already been purchased that carry the Little League approval, but do not have the required bat performance standard markings.  The Little League Rulebook states that beginning January 1, 2009, all non-wood bats used for play in Little League Baseball (majors and below) shall be printed with a bat performance factor (BPF) of 1.15 or less.  While the bats we have identified pass the BPF standard and other standards of proportion and measurement, they do not have the proper label.  These bats are in the marketplace for a variety of circumstances.  After review by Little League officials, it has been determined that these bats may remain in the marketplace and shall be allowed for play during the 2009 season only, with the understanding that these bats shall not be allowed for play after December 31, 2009, even though some improperly labeled bats may still remain in the marketplace, or retained by leagues and players after the 2010 deadline.  Also, check the model you are purchasing.  If these bats, like the Vanquish, are replaced with corrected labeling, and have the BPF 1.15 label, they will be allowed after 2009. 

Specifically, the bats in question are as follow:
 
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).
 
DeMarini   Black Coyote
                   Rogue
                   Distance
                   Rumble
                   Tengu
 
Easton         LZ-810
 
Louisville Slugger    YB31
 

Sincerely,
Little League International

Wall Ball
boyball

Traditionally, Canal children have played "wall ball" on the old Grange building up by the Major Boys Field. Unfortunately, we can not allow the children to play wall ball any longer.

There are several reasons for not allowing this activity to continue. 

  • It is very dangerous for children with the cars coming in and out of the parking lot. 
  • It's not Canal Little League property. The Grange was sold over a year ago to R.C. Peoples and they have rented the building to the Heritage Baptist Church. 
  • We do not want to interrupt church services and other activities that are taking place in the building throughout the week. 

The 2009 Canal Little League Board thank you for your consideration in this matter.
