I've been part of a couple of these. First one was a plate umpire who passed out from heat & dehydration problems. This was on a Saturday afternoon of a tournament weekend. I kept him out of the rest of the weekend's games, took some of his games & distrubuted the other games. Since then, I've made sure that everyone hears about the umpire who decided he wasn't sweating too much or wasn't thirsty & paid the price. The second was a cracked wrist I got from a foul ball. I finished the game & then bowed out - xrays showed a crack but not serious enough to do a whole lot with.
