So, you do have some tolerance for jewelry, but only for married individuals?

Our State interpreter has instructed us to keep jewelry off the field (fed) other than what is permitted by rule.

And that is fine, it is their rule and if I work Fed ball, I apply Fed rules.

As far as ASA I only allow adult players to wear jewelry other than hoop earring.

So a watch is okay? How about a ring with a protruding rock? Why do you give a damn about hoop earrings? Who are they going to hurt other than the wearer?

Pretty inconsistent here.

As I said earlier I do not want to get sued. and remember I am in California where parents will sue you for any thing they can.

You can be sued over anything, doesn't make it valid. And they can try to get blood out of a rock all day, isn't going to help.

Actually, the possibility of infection and/or piercings closing during a prescribed time following the procedure is often the excuse a player & mother (rarely father ) offer for keeping the stud in place. I love it when the coach almost seems embarrassed when the subject comes up, but s/he puts her in the line-up anyway.
