Agree, but what do you do with the coach in the 3B dugout who is screaming about the "jewelry" violation by the RF?

Last time I heard of a coach complaining about another team's player wearing jewelry, the umpire decided to take a break, walk to his car for a drink and a smoke, take an obligatory scan of the rule book, returned to the field and tossed the coach!

Oh, did I happen to mention he also kept the clock running?
