Had a friend who is a parent of a 12u girl come up to me this past weekend and ask me a strange question about something that had happened.
Her DD was told (by the umpire behind the plate) she was not allowed to wear eye black except for 1 stripe below each eye. Now most of these girls are far into watching and trying to emulate these older college girls in a lot of ways, including eye black.
Turns out, she had her eye black like Alex Hugo (double lines, curving down the cheek at the end of the eye sockets).
Is this an actual rule? Umpires dictating eye black?
