DownTown,
You have to remember, this is the same league who in one game this year banned some of the Red Sox helmets because the pine tar had covered the B. Umpire ruled the helmet was not uniform, most likely at league request. Of course, probably if you turn the Sox on tonight, you will see the tarred helmets. I'm watching the Angels and Disarrays right now, on ESPN, and the a couple of the Angels' batters have the A with the halo completely covered. It looks nasty, but I'm not the fashion police. It seems to me that enforcing something for a tatoo, or a tarred helmet, or anything silly that really doesn't affect the game, is just opening a pandora's box that is better off left alone. Kind of like the coaches boxes. Especially at the amateur level. I agree with you. The tat doesn't look like a baseball, it doesn't distract me and my job requires focus on the ball, let's play.

On the other hand, ejecting him for being stupid and permanently painting his body is appealing...
