So if the VT's were logs back in the day why don't we consider some of the current day logs for eddie use...below 65 eddies. Like the Freak 98, green catty, 08 extended, 08 stealth, etc. I know once a composite bat breaks in it can be hotter than anything out there. I have Freak 98 that I would be lucky to hit out of the infield (not broken in) and have seen other Freak 98's that are team bats that are well broken in that could hit out of the quarry field at will like an Ultra2. So that being said and not to discount the ability of the male eddies under 65...why dont we allow them to use these bats as well? Obviously I am not an eddie and cannot used said bats. But why cut off the eddies who are not seniors from using said bats and also cutoff seniors from using senior bats. Since I play the outfield I would like to not move in when an eddie comes up to the plate. And mind you it does not happen often since I have a lot of respect for the eddies in this league. I have been burned enough out there to know that the eddie marker sometimes means nothing. But I think if the eddies could use the current technology along with the seniors using technology that was designed for them it would be an even playing field on offense accross the league. You should not be able to throw an eddie out at first, or even second, from the outfield. Not that I would try it but some people do with sucess. I think applying the ASA rule for the male 65+ and female eddies made for some great offense in the co-ed league last season. I guess the point I am trying to make is build off of that and expand with the new rules in place for co-ed and we may see a more competitive playing field over all. I know I tried to say a lot in a short amount of time and may not have been fully clear but does anyone else think this is fair?
