This post is a perfect look into the Beer League mentality:
"Softball is about offense baby defense is way over rated. " |
I wouldn't allow this because of the safety risk. I wouldn't allow a player to cut the toes off his shoes, either. Or the crot--you get the idea.

The rules don't even require a glove. Besides, if the player is dumb enough to place themselves in harm's way, that is their problem. |

I've been umpiring ASA since 1978 and this is the FIRST I've ever heard of this. I might bring it up at our next association meeting to see if anyone else has ever heard of this. I think doing this would increase the possibility of injury to the fielder, esp is he is attempting a "shoestring" catch and ends up trapping the ball.
