I got called to fill in on a middle school game that got turned back. Was told standard FED rules applied. Should have known I was in trouble when in coaches meeting I asked if players were properly and legally equipped and both coaches just looked at me and said, huh? I told them, no jewelry, hair pins etc. Both coaches said that was the first they had ever heard of the rule. First batter has on 2 rings, a bracelet and necklace.

Someone had a whistle they were blowing occasionally off to my right. Batter comes up to bat, suddenly I hear what appears to be the whistle coming from center field just as the pitcher released the ball, but cant see anyone with a whistle. Next pitch same thing. Just then the batter turns her head and I realize it is her that has the whistle. It is one of those flat disk ones that goes between the lips and teeth. I told her to get it out of her mouth and I didnt want to hear it again the rest of the game.

And all your typical stuff listed above pluse runners leading off like they were playing baseball etc.
