Okay, Tim, I'll bite...where is that chest protector now? I would treasure memorabilia from my namesake!
I borrowed my assignor's old balloon for 3 Senior LL games on the same day some years back, just to see what it was like. He told me that this league was horrible, and to wear his balloon. So I wore it, and was glad I had. He wasn't lying! I got nailed at least 10 times that day, because the catchers couldn't even catch a cold. Working the games alone, I found out what a challenge it is to do any significant running with the outside protector. It gave me a new found respect for the old AL umpires.
