Had an opportunity yesterday to work a three person system. A fellow umpire volunteered his time (well, he was paid a meal...which would have been cheaper to just pay him for the game) to work a little three umpire system. Had a blast!
In the first inning alone we had 3 or 4 rotations where first base umpire was covering home plate.
Just a joy to work this system. I love it! It's going to make it very hard to go back to two-person tomorrow night.
Besides college games, does anyone routinely work three-person during High School system? Only time we see it is at the deeper levels of the state tournament series and if we "volunteer" our time and work a game for free.
