    Actually braves she may be right. Think of it this way, you can have white tape on your bat, just not a white barrel, just as a pitcher can have a white jersey, but not white tape on his wrists or sleeves. Being a 3rd basemen against some of these kids swinging those white Aero Fuses, lets say there's been a couple of times I didn't even see the ball until it was by me, I was begging for the pitcher to ask for and ball. I think white should be banned, it's more then an advantage, it's down right dangerous. Instead of seeing a 90 mph ball hit at you and seeing it 85 feet at third, your seeing a 90 mph ball being hit at you seeing it 25 feet (and that's assuming a 65 mph swing, and only a 70 mph pitch, if i understood correctly). That's a huge difference.

    That is so not happening. If the other team shows up to the field late in pink (after Labor Day), they are deducted one run and fined $100. It just doesn't happen anymore.

    Ask Stretchy, his team lost a tournament for that
