Bat in the way

[Steve M]

Speaking of hijacking a post.....

I recently worked a game where my partner - on the bases - would clean the pitcher's plate and place the ball near/on it in between innings. I mentioned to him that since I was sure he did not want the players touching his balls, he should not touch their balls. He understood & made the change - but the pervert wasn't so sure he agreed with the first part of my statement.

Equipment belongs to the players. They will handle it and it is covered by the rules. Don't touch.
