I was once BU on a field with a girl whos gma had just died and had given her a necklace before she died (we were told this) that certainly was not unsafe.. perhaps it might get broken and lost.. but nothing that could INJURE anyone (spare me the urban legends).

Yep, you guessed it.. this umpire made her take this off. It was absurd. Jewelry patrolmen .. especially when there is no explicit rule, are just power flexing. Has nothing to do with safety.
