Thanks,

Have you considered glue?

Seriously, what the hell is patched?
It means when you get certifited, you are given a patch to wear on your shirt, hence the term "patched".
I was unaware states did that. So anyone wearing "the patch" is then presumed competent? If they prove otherwise, can we hold the state liable for proclaiming them as such?
I don't believe many states still do this, Mr. Umpire. Mine doesn't. And despite your comment on liability probably being a joke, it may not be far from a true concern and why states have quit "patching" their umpires.

(Patches? We don't got to show you no stinkin' patches!)
