New York, NY

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the city regarding a new metal bat ban. The lawsuit was filed on behalf on national high school baseball associations, sporting goods companies, and parents and claims that high school baseball without aluminum bats is less competitive and more expensive, but not any safer. Mayor Michael Bloomberg vetoed the law last month, saying it is not up to the city to decide which bats are more dangerous. But the City Council overrode the veto and the law is set to take effect in September, 2007.
