Educational (mine) question: where did you find that "ain't s'posed to wear a watch" thing? I must have some reading to do.

Thanks!

It may be in "rule 13", but if you ever wear one on the field at a National, or State Tournament, or if you are being evaluated for GHSA ball, you can read it in your evaluation report!

I used to wear mine until the plate meeting started so I would know the start time. Got "busted" while checking bats at a State Championship. No real trouble, but I won't ever do that again. (I embarressed my assignor as well!)

At all pre-tourney umpire meetings I have ever been to watches and all other jewelry is a no-no. Wedding bands are allowed, but some UIC's have saig if you don't mind removing it.....
