(The mom wasn't hot, either...two big strikes.)

You could have offered to keep the necklace in your pocket and if the DD remembered to get the jewlery back after the game, it would remain hers.

I gave a team warning at last Wednesday's high school game for a "Livestrong type" plastic bracelet.

First post this year for softball and thought I would chim in. Working a dbl header scrimmage last week and I was PU for 2nd game. Noticed when talking to home team catcher that she had a stud in her upper lip area. Knowing the coach as well as I do, I went to him between innings and told him I didn't want to be an a$$ but "if this were during the regular season I would, depending on when I noticed: 1) stop the game and have her remove the item or if it took to long, have her replaced, or 2) have it removed between innings. As I was telling the coach this he stated that they thought they had the ear thing all set and this was new. I found out later that same inning that this catcher also had one of those bar/stud like things going from one part of her ear to another. I was informed that was also removed after I taked to the coach.. I guess I am one of those that doesnot go looking for it but if I see it, I have to take care of it..

Once you see it, no delay, remove (jewelry or player) then and there.

I had my first HS game of the year (game #50) and pulled the coach aside as his players went off the field to ask him 'Why are #4's earlobes so shiny. Message received by the coach, no issue made, and the player stayed in the dugout, coach's decision. The hard part is noticing these things when working a NFHS game after so many in a rule set where you can some to the plate with more metal than a robot.

Now, what is the deal with all of the metal in your face? I guess I really am getting old when I do not get the piercing thing.

Lip piercings, eye brow piercings and such are obviously dangerous and out in all rule sets.

Not NCAA.
