Metal Bat Ban Upheld

A judge upheld a New York City ban on the use of metal bats in high school baseball games Tuesday. U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl said "it was not his place to overturn a law that was approved by a local government with the public's safety in mind." The law is set to take effect Sept. 1.

I know the high school baseball season is a ways away, but what do you think of this decision? Is it a good idea with player's safety in mind or another silly restriction? Would that ban ever fly around here?

The judge is right, metal bats are not more dangerous han wood bats.
