Let me get this straight:
You don't rub down the game balls before the game?
If you don't who does?
I ask this because we have a couple of high schools that rub down the balls before we arrive, we also have a tradition that the base umpire normally rubs down at least some of the game balls AND we have ONE school that does not allow the PU ANY balls (yep, the home coach holds a gamer in his hands and throws it to the pitcher from the bench after a ball leaves the field of play).

Coach doesn't ALLOW the PU to hold the game balls. If it was MY game, "Coach, I'll hold the extra game balls." "No, I keep them." Coach, I'll hold the game balls, or you can take a walk back to your office, because you'll no longer be involved in this game."
To permit the home coach to hold the balls, and toss them to the pitchers when necessary, is ridiculous. How do you allow this?
