A little more on topic... What are these girls doing playing ball with jewelry on anyway? There's a time and place for "looking pretty," and the ball field ain't it.

I officiate volleyball, and often work with officials that work other sports. A few years ago one of them related an incident that I still find amusing. He was working a softball game between a local public school and an exclusive private school. He noticed during warmups that one of the players from the private school was wearing earrings and informed her that she would not be able to participate in the game unless she removed the earrings. She kind of gave him a blank stare and he said "you could just give them to someone to hold for you until the game is over".

She replied "Would you have someone hold a pair of $15,000 earrings for you?!"

She sat the bench.
