How did nobody realize this was a boy? Was this a younger age group, where some of the players may still be a little "developmentally" challenged? Anything higher than about 14 though and I'm thinking somebody would have realized. Also I would think that the way in which his uniform was being worn might have given something away. Whether its the presence of a cup or the lack of certain undergarments, somebody had to have noticed this. I'm not saying it necessarily should have been the umpires or coaches, but you would think a player would have figured it out.
I know this isn't really an issue for umpires (unless we catch it in the act), but I'm completely amazed that this could happen.
