NHFS

1-5-12 Jewelry shall not be worn (See 3-3-1 d) except for religious or
medical medals. A religious medal must be taped and worn under the uniform. A medical alert must be taped and may be visible.

3-3-1d
ART. 1... A coach, player, substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not:
d. wear jewelry (players participating in the game) or wear bandannas;

PENALTY: At the end of playing action, the umpire shall issue a warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be ejected, except for (f), where the coach shall be ejected. In (b), it is also obstruction (8-3-2)

It depends what rule set we are working under in the summer. Legion uses major league rules with some variations. VFW uses high school rules. Iowa high school uses federation rules. So as I see it, I don't care what they wear for jewelry in legion but do care in VFW and high school games.

OK, I now see the link at the bottom is high school.. I responded after reading the beginning:

I am puzzled as to why so many umpires allow the wearing of jewelry within amateur sporting events. It seems like travel ball is really bad with the players wanting to wear multiple rope necklaces and some even wearing chains. I myself give a friendly reminder at the plate meeting to remove all jewelry, then during the game if I see any I have it removed immediately

I didn't get "high school" out of "travel ball". I see the confusion now.

Yeah, it took a couple of reads for me, too.

I am still trying to figure it out. He is first talking about travel ball, not NFHS rules. All travel ball I've ever seen was OBR based, and the kids get all blinged out, with no rule preventing it. Travel ball always cracks me up how everybody thinks they are like some elite group of players, coaches, and managers, as if they are on the Junior Professional circuit or something.

Now that's funny - and true. Travel ball now is so diluted its gotten pathetic and that is in area where the level of HS baseball is really really high quality.

Its just a matter of time when its going to start affecting HS more I think because so many kids will have ruined their arms before they reach high school

Thanks

I'm thinking a southern state, Mississippi if I'm not mistaken. One of those.
