Jewelry - What is your league rule say on Jewelry?
Why I ask is that it is the 2nd night of league ball (Mens Industrial). League rule is NO Jewelry!!
(Necklace, chokers, earrings, etc) except for a wedding band (smooth). League rule states if worn, the coach or captain will be ejected from the game. It was told to the captains / coach at the coachs meeting. It was also told to them by my partner and myself, when we both where changing the bats. And of course at the plate meeting, I was Base Umpire; my partner told the captain / coach again in the meeting. No Jewelry!
While it goes like this, the player that wore the necklace was home team. They came up to bat, bottom of the first, the player walk up to the box, my partner calls for time, told player he must remove the necklace, partner walks over to home team dugout, calls coach over and told him, he was out of the ball game. One person on the team (everybody has one of these player) I am big, bad, played in every kind of league (Majors, usssa, isa, etc) Mr. Bigshot with a mouth. Was angry the first couple of innings. He yakking at me, no cussing I may add, but goes on about he paid a lot of money to play in the league and that is a bullcrap of a rule. I told him stop and play ball, start yakking again. Mr. Bigshot goes on; dont worry about me, yad yad yad.
After coach was ejected, I saw him talking to the Coordinator and UIC. He could not back anything up, about the call. No Jewelry.
So my question to you guys is what is your league rule??
Now, we have change it last night after the game that there will not be an ejection, but an out now.
Man oh man!!!! What a night!!!!!
