Federation ambiguity w/ "Distraction"

If you think that it has the potential of causing a problem, take the action ahead of time. Many times I have asked a pitcher to remove a questionable distraction so as not to cause a problem latter and almost always they reply, "oh sorry about, I understand."

I don't have to have discussions with any of the coaches after that either.

be tactful and solve the problems before they arise.
