Actually, I wouldn't be shocked if some leagues have such a rule about forfeits over stuff like that. Not to hijack this thread, but there are some leagues that have zero tolerance for some rule violations, such as illegal bats, illegal balls, etc. I know of a city in the area that if you're caught using an illegal bat, illegal ball or metal spikes (we're talking SP here), it's an automatic forfeit (not an ejection as prescribed by the rules). Talk about harsh!
