It's not just me that feels this way either, our local umpire association has put out the word that we're not supposed to allow these things to be worn. We don't allow ANY jewelry. We do allow medi-alert bracelets and necklaces but they need to be taped down.

Sounds like a very third-world play, if you ask me. Seems to me the same thing could happen with the runner's finger and the elastic on the wrist of the fielder's batting glove that she wears under her glove...
