LDUB,

That certainly is the FED rule.

What, exactly, do you do to enforce it?

My approach, when the PU, is to ask the coaches at the plate conference if all their players are propely and legally equipped and make sure I ge an affirmative response from each. Other than that, I don't give it a thought.

I do, however, plan to be a little more observant with respect to catchers' headgear next season.
