Watcha guys think...F2 goes to mound to become F1, switches gloves, of course. As he is warming up, Me an pard both notice the big NIKE swoooosh on the back strap covering his wrist, brite white. Skipper comes meandering up as F1 warms, we yak a bit( PONY sanctioned district game). I decide to mess with him a bit, " Skipper, he's got another glove, right?"
Skipper, " HUH, "
Me, "That ones illegal, multi-colored"
Skipper, " He's(other manager) gotta call us on it"
Me, "Sorry skip, he must get a legal glove"
Skipper, " Come on guys, let em play...geez, there ony kids..."
Me, " OK coach, if he *****es, F1 switches"
Of course, and thankfully so, "other coach" did not notice(he missed the illegal sub the other day), they got 10 runned and the ol 2 and out, but, the "swooooosh" makes this glove illegal per OBR 115.a.
How do you guys handle this?? Rich kid with a NIKE glove, star player, tourney time under OBR rules......
BTW, pard was the one who noticed first, he plays NAIA CSUMB ball and umps with us....very good kid(22) Assignor did a great job recruiting from the local college!!.
