toss glove

Jeff, we agree again. People are going to start talking.

Fed has a rule prohibiting "Dew-Rags", bandanas and head scarves in baseball. Last year, we had an umpire eject a Public League kid that was wearing the UnderArmour skullcap under his baseball hat. He was a stud who was getting scouted by a decent college. The ump tossed him in the first inning. The ruling was appealed for clarification and the Jeopardy geniuses at Fed said it should be prohibited. The Public League then asked the IHSA for a ruling and were told that the skull cap (specifically designed to keep the head cool) was allowed, as it was not visible. Logic dictated that we depart from the Fed interp.

Would you toss out a kid that has his Yarmulke under his helmet? The IHSA is light years ahead of some states in making sure that the integrity of the game isn't compromised. Differing from the Fed here is just more proof.
