Jewelry During the Game
Posted: 10/2/2012
Q.: What is the rule in Wisconsin on jewelry worn by the ball players? We always go through this in the pre-meeting
with the coaches and the other night we had a player wearing a necklace in the 3rd inning and we made him remove it. Then in the 4th inning we had another player from the same team with a necklace on. What would be the procedure in Wisconsin...in this situation would we have warned the first player, then removed the second player who we found with jewelry on from the game?
A.: We follow the NFHS rules on jewelry in baseball.
PENALTY: At the end of playing action, the umpire shall issue a warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be ejected, except for (f), where the coach shall be ejected. In (b), it is also obstruction (8-3-2). You appear to have followed procedures correctly.
