"I'm coming off a Fed high school season where all visable jewelry was a no-no"

ALL jewelry in FED is a no-no, visible or not. The only exceptions are medical alert or religious jewelry. And they must be taped to the body/wrist.

And what has the Constitution to do with softball rules?

Actually, quite a bit, but not in the manner you are thinking. Reread that portion of the post. [/B]
I think you should read the Constitution. There is nothing in that document that says that parents, or anyone else, is responsible for children.

So, you did read the statement properly and just wanted to stir things up a bit.

If the constitution has nothing to do with softball, why is there an ADA rule in ASA's book? Yes, it is not directed by the constitution per se, but every law in the land is "supposedly" built upon the framework of the constitution. Granted, I don't believe it for a minute, but it can make for a pretty good argument
