I was working a 14U ASA state this weekend and it wsa funny to see some umpires reactions to different jewerly. I was BU when a girl stole 2nd I called time to dust off base, she was adjusting helmet and brushing off (I didn't really notice as my big butt was bent over sweeping) so I finish and get to my spot my PU calls (VERY LOUDLY) "time I have a team warning on XXXXXX for jewerly the girl on 2nd has a braclet." Come to find out it was a "jelly" ring that had gotten knocked out of her hair on the slide and she put it on her wrist instead of taking time to refix her hair standing on 2nd. I know I have asked about this before but I still don't think those little cheap junk things would cause an injury. I know in ASA it is UJ as to what has to be removed. I had another game where I noticed a SS with a string braclet around her wrist. IMO it was not dangerous, but during an OC at the plate I walked up to her and told her that some umpires might make her take that off as they could think it was dangerous and it would give them a team warning and anyone else found with jewerly on would be restriced to the bench for the rest of the game. She asked if that was a team warning, I said no, I don't think it's dangerous I just wanted you to know some others might. She said thanks. The next 1/2 inning it was gone! What a deal!
