Back to the OP...where the offending bauble was covered by tape. As a coach I've spoken to many umps about this. With few exceptions they expressed that it was none of their business what was underneath the tape or a bandaid...whether it was recent surgery, jewelry, or a small thermonuclear device....it didn't matter what the coach said it was...they didn't have x-ray vision and they weren't about to ask the player to take off the tape. I concur.
