Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Zach Eflin has refused to take off his wedding ring while playing despite being threatened with ejection after being made to remove it against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Thursday.
Eflin took off the ring against the Pirates last time out but intends to stand firm on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles. "We’ll see how the umpire crew is," Eflin said Monday, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"I’m going to wear it. I don’t think I’m ever really going to take it off because they want me to take it off. If they asked me to take it off, because they’re going to eject me out of the game, then I’ll take it off.
