In NH our NFHS guideline is that if the PU is wearing a jacket, the BU should be also.

However, if the PU decides not to wear a jacket, the BU still has the option of wearing one.

I guess the rationale is that perhaps w/ leg guards and chest protector, that may help to insulate the PU.

Not sure about everywhere else, but some fields have one position that's sunny and another that's in the shade [primarily in A, but that can change somewhat in the later innings when the sun gets low]. For me, the wind is what makes it toughest. Warm at times, but too chilly when that wind whips up.

Oh, BTW, I thought the picture of the glove had 3 colors: red, blue/black, and white. The white "lacing" looked to be additional design and not real lacing on the pocked area of the glove.

NFHS: 1-4-1a expressly excludes the color of the lacing from being counted as one of the colors. Can we as umpires ever really know whether or not the lacing is "real" or "decorative"? If it's lacing, I'm not worried about its color.

If it's lacing, I'm not worried about its color.

That is not entirely true it can not be the color of the ball or used to be woven in a patten that looks like the ball.

Rule 1, section 4, a and c

Granted. I intended to say, "If it's lacing, I'm not counting it as one of the two allowable colors."
