They have selected to make a decision that appears to be against their own rules.
HOWEVER, they are the client and if they decide to not use the umpire that brought the decision to the front that is their choice.
I do not agree with the decison of the league to allow the "maskless" warm-up but I do support their right to use whomever they select to umpire their games.
That is all I meant by my reference.

Agreed. And DG has (possibly) a choice -- he can not work the league or he can work it and allow the 16-year old to warm up the pitcher without a mask.
If the league has enough umpires willing to allow the action, then DG won't be missed. If enough umpires follow DG's lead, then the rule will be changed.
