For one reason or another, I end up doing 3 or 4 games a year by myself. No big deal in my book.
One of the best games I have had in the past couple of years was one my assignor called and asked if I could do at the last minute. He called at 2:00 and game time was 4:00. I showed up not knowing who my partner was supposed to be, and at game time a partner had not arrived. This was a varsity HS game between two private schools. I offered options to the coaches at the plate conference. We can wait for my partner to arrive, I can start and maybe end the game alone, or we could call it off and they could play another day. They opted to start the game. It was a 2-1 game, lasted 1 hour 20 minutes, the home team wrote me a check for $85. I only had one tough call, a steal of 2B that was close. Partner never showed up.
