She wanted to do just what has been described in this thread.......tape it. How do you tape a nose stud? Anyway, about the 4th or 5th inning she was involved in a collision at the plate without her head gear and her nose got busted. I just wonder what would have occured if the piercing had still been in her nose. Kids are so stupid....or should I say young adults in this case.

Don't care, not my problem. And, yes, I am serious. A nose stud is not dangerous to any other player on that field. With adult teams, how can you possibly be strict about jewelry which is not a danger to another player, umpire or coach and at the same time allow them to wear metal spikes?
