DD has used the Gorilla Gold. It's kind of like a tack rag that wood workers use to remove dust before painting. It works well for overly dry or wet conditions and she loves to use it, but we haven't come up with a good place to keep it. No pockets on her uniform shorts and when we hung it over the waistband of her shorts, her side got sticky.

Better get her some pockets because that is actually part of the rule. Cannot leave it on the ground (not that you would want to do that, but I can just see some coach complaining to an umpire that it is NOT in the pocket and the umpire doing something stupid!

I had thought about that and was wondering if I sewed a pocket into a small towel and put the Gorilla Gold into it and hung it over her waistband would cover that part of the rule.

That should work as most umpires stand on the mantra, "Can't call what I can't see". But you know how convincing some of these Billy Martin wannabees are....

Maybe I should stitch the towel to her shorts, then the pocket would be part of her uniform and thus "in the pocket" would be covered.

I can hear it now. "Blue, she's got an altered uniform..."

But is it on the non-approved uniform list?
