I can also see where no shirts in the pits could be dangerous but i support body painting as long as it isnt taken too far as said above.

We started doing that in 2003, and as far as I know they've done it ever since. Here's a pic of the "founding fathers" of the Killer Bees body painting (actually in those days we used permanent markers and it would last on us for a few days!)
Cool fact...I was the "I" back in the day, and this year at Great Lakes they recruited my 9 year old brother to be the "I"....my other brother that is on the team now couldn't do it because he was the human player.
As you may imagine, I don't have any problem with body painting at all!
