Was it at least white, black, beige, or a predominant jersey color?

That wasn't me, but I do have a similar story. I was working a men's wreck game and the two teams came out for the opening jump. I noticed something was sticking out of one of the player's ears. I went over to him and told him. He grabbed it, looked at it and said, "OH NO! IT'S A SUPPOSITORY!" He started yelling. I told him it was no big deal and to calm down. He replied, "You don't understand - I just realized where I put my hearing aid!"

I told my wife about this and she is highly skeptical.

Skeptical that a male would pick up a used tampon even with a wad of paper towels? Me, too.

Call the custodian. Break out the HAZMAT suits, and the bleach. Lots of bleach.

This! IMHO it would fall under the bloodborne pathogen precautions - get game management to deal with it.

I'm "sure" it started out that way, and if it was a visiting team and the nickname was redhawks or redwings or reddevils etc it ended up that way.

I think every official who has worked more than a few years of girls games has a similar story.

Thirty-five years. About 40% girls games. Not one similar incident. Should I be worried?
