Legal Stuff: Iowa has a new weapons law.  I don’t bring my guns to the Sands and neither can you.  If you are a member of a well ordered militia, please check your weapons at the bar.  It is against the law to bring any beverages onto the premises of a liquor license holder and the insurance companies are checking. When you are at a licensed establishment you must have a valid ID available for inspection.  Pets are also prohibited. Please obey these laws so we can keep our license.  End of the legalities.

Bats: Bat List The bat list for 2012 should be available soon.  ASA has not updated their list with all the 2012 bats yet. We use aluminum single wall one piece bats.  Bats listed on the ASA site as SW (Single Wall) may be legal or they could be two piece. Don't unwrap a bat until an Umpire has cleared and stickered it.
