HHH,
Peter:
It is hard for me to believe that in your area the rule is not being called. I say that since the FIRST FED issue that came up concerning the Livestrong braclets was for the Virginia State Championship Cross Country meet this last fall.
In Virgina about 50 runners were disqualified for wearing the braclets (many were reinstated afterwards as there was an "administrative error" by one of the State Officials) but it was made clear at the time by FEDlandia that the bracelets were, indeed, jewelry.
In my area of Oregon we do not allow any type (color) bracelet to be worn by players. And we certainly do not allow ANY jewelry to be covered by tape or cloth. That is consistent with FED langauge and intent.
As for the "Gorilla Arm" we did the preventive officiating thing in pre-season and we now ALL call it a balk (or illegal pitch) as required by FED.
Now go ahead and make a personal attack on me as always.
(BTW guys, HHH and I have been friends off line for about eight years, so take this last comment as it is meant AND SEE PETER'S LATEST ARTICLE IN THE PAID SECTION OF THIS WEBSITE.)
