What rules are you using? As has already been noted, if there is a no jewelery rule such as Dixie and NFHS have, then it has to come off. If, like ASA and USSSA, it leaves it to the discretion of the umpire, then I would have to rule according to whether or not I deem it dangerous.
alabamabluezebra:
It should be the same in Dixie everywhere. This is a rule, it is in the book.
2:05 For safety and injury prevention; casts, jewelery such as wristwatches, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, hair barrette, hairpins, ponytail holders that are made of a hard substance, rings, or any other items deemed dangerous by the plate umpire SHALL NOT BE WORN during the game.
The capitalization is the way it is written in the book. The penalty for failure to comply to this rule is removal from the game.
