Chief,

This isn't HS, it is college. The jewelry issue is one of liability.

These girls are legally adults and are responsible for their own well-being.

However, when the pitcher described above came in the game, once again, Fernandez showed that she had no working knowledge of the rules by stating that she believed jewelry was against the rules.

The prep these folks do for this announcing stint must take place in a ten minute meeting.
