WBC you are missing something here...
as officials and respresentatives of baseball we are leaders on the field. Leadership positions, by the nature, acquire certain responsibilities. One of those is to ensure the safety of the participants of the game, for example, the malicious contact rule.
I would challenge that as an umpire we are responsible for observing players and our partners for signs of heat stress or cold for those of you above the Mason-Dixon line.  When observed, we have an inherant responsibility to act, anything less is simply wrong.
