Agree with this petition 100% . As rules are enforced for "safety" and speeding up play every year. When in my humble opinion it takes away from the sport and competitive aspect . Lower divisions may be good for Co ed wooden bat . But the competitive divisions have players capable of stopping a ball or getting out of the way.

I've played in AZ for 30 years with no wooden bats. Play 2 leagues. It makes the competitive better and rec. league more fun.

The women in Cody, Thermopolis and Worland Coed leagues all play with men using composite bats. It's a disservice to your competitive women not to let them play in a league where they can prepare for the state tournament, in which the guys will be using composite bats. The higher divisions should follow true ASA rules.

I've been hit by line drives coming off of a composite bat used by a guy. I stayed in the game and didn't cry about it. As Tom Hanks said, "There's NO CRYING in baseball." Same goes with softball. You're out there playing a sport in which you should know the dangers. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen and off the damn field.

All is fair in love and sports. If the talented woman of the league want it that way, then allow them the opportunity to play against the competition.

We are hurting our women more than helping. The majority of D1 women play travel softball and are having a hard time transitioning to fielding a ball hit off an aluminum bat because all they see every week is a ball hit off of a wooden bat which in softball is a huge difference!!
Let's get real and throw the wooden bats out
