Let your good judgement be your guide.
Interesting posts regarding gloves. Rule 1-5-4 makes the umpire the final authority regarding the legality of player equipment. I agree with philosophy expressed in NFHS 2002 interpretation situation 7: Any item of player equipment that gives a player an unfair advantage not intended under the rules or endangers player safety should be disallowed.
When and where do you gentlemen conduct your pregame inspection of equipment? What procedures should I follow as the umpire in conducting this inspection? I would like to follow the same routine before and during every game. Seems like this is an area that is continuing to become more important each year.
