Thanks for the reply. I intended for this to be a topic for a video, especially because baseball coaches and instructors, such as John Madden, are teaching young players how to hit with wood, and recommending that they use wood earlier. I was also interested to hear that New York City public schools, and New Mexico high schools are required to play with wood bats, and would want to hear your take on that. I also wonder if NFHS should eventually step in to require wood bats, because the metal bats are already becoming similar to wood, due to the new BBCOR specifications.

A few years ago, Royals vs. Toronto, Toronto's manager got kicked out when one of their players was hit by a pitch. Next inning Toronto hit a Royals player, the pitcher was ejected. The manager that had already been ejected came back out on the field and got into an argument with the umpire. I figured there would be a huge fine or a suspension for coming back out on the field after being ejected but the league really did nothing. What is the rule on this, I'd never seen a ejected coach return to the field before.
