I can't put a number on the one-man Slo-Pitch
games I've worked. The ASA has pretty good
recommendations for that.
I recall back in the day when I was assigning our
local high school games back in CNY. I would end
up with a few junior high level games that no one
wanted to umpire. I'd end up working by myself and
if the weather was nice (it usually was at the end of
May-- start of June) I'd tell the coaches I left my plate
gear at home and I'd work from behind the pitcher.
I realize it is a no-no, BUT those level games
typically had weak pitching and a lot of base
runners. I didn't have to move much to make my
calls, AND I didn't work up a sweat from being all
"geared up" !!
