interesting reading ... as always
here's one for you all ... when you introduce yourself, do you state your name ?
i don't
i usually just say "I'm your plate ump for this game ..." and then do the special playing rules like others have suggested. (e.g. In some divisions, all the girls bat, so I'll mention that rule where applicable. Or, the younger girls don't use the drop 3rd strike rule, so I say that.)
anyway, someone suggested to me that it's better to keep your name out of it as best you can
... that's my 2 cents .... bob
