Yes I'm looking to get patched.
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!)

Thank goodness that the state I live in FORBIDS the wearing of patches. Clean shirt policy -- only exception is a flag patch on the left sleeve, that is optional.
