Umps had a blast.
Kids had a blast.
Coaches loved seeing good umpires on that level!

If a shiney-shoed, full uniform blue shoes up at a kid's game, it's most exciting for the players.
...And, I think, in it's subtly, polite way, proliferates the sport.

Very true! A lot of kids would say "look at your shoes. They're so shiney!"  It was great!
