Summer ball is suppose to be a little more lax when it comes to rules like jewelry. During summer ball they can bat entire lineup, free substitutions, eh/dh allowed. Down here in my neck of the woods anyways.

Evidently summer ball relaxes the NOCSAE approval for catcher's helmets too. Well that is what some of them have told me anyways when I tell them they can't wear the skull cap in the Pony / Colt leagues.

During summer ball, HS age kids yes some have worn the skull cap/mask combo.

Has anyone told the lawyers?

So if Houston is now the "neck of the woods"? That must make Brooklyn the "armpit of the earth"....................:D

Read again because that's not what he said. He said that there is not a jewelry rule in NCAA -- so they can wear jewelry. He didn't say that there was a no-jewelry rule.

My thing is, if I'm a coach responsible for players safety, wtf am I doing letting my players wear items that can be dangerous. Not only to my players, but to others. Unbelievable! IMO there is no need and no place for it.

Ahh, nationally televised game, let me look good for the camera even though I may lose an ear or get punctured in my head because of the CROWN I'm wearing on my head. Let's wear the biggest ring I have so if I swipe tag someone, I take out their eye, or I stub a finger and need to get it cut off.

But then I look at the coaches and they broke into their jewelry box too, wow!

I know, when do you hear about it happening? Everyday! Accept it's not nationally televised.

I know jewelry is not prohibited, but smart players won't wear them and smart coaches won't allow them.

I thought he meant that "no jewelry rule in NCAA" meant they couldn't wear jewelry. I would have understood better if he would have put "there is" in front of the sentence.

I shall retain this in my memory bank for years on out. Thank you most kind and gracious centurion.

I'll take 10,000 shirts! Bill it to Steven Tyler @ ...lol
