Coaches
Arriving inside confines of the playing field, walking fence
line, also looking towards infield watching action and for
possible wild throws conking me from behind, note that the
visiting catcher - pitcher are warming on in front of ther
dugout. I approach and ask the young lady pitching is she
going to be the pitcher today. She is, so I tell catcher she
must wear her mask. And I get this line alot...
"I don't have to have a mask on, unless I am kneeling.".
When her coach comes to the plate for
pre-game, she now gets on me, for making her
catcher don
her mask when she is merely standing receiving under throws from
the pitcher. I showed her the rule after the game and how I could
have ejected her player for not complying. She told me that she
really never knew that was the rule.
