Hey BigUmp,
More of my games are called solo than are called with partners. These are all sanctioned games, not pickup games. I would love to have a partner for every game, but that ain't how it is.
You may want to consider that there are places that actually do things differently than you do instead of relagating all of us to "pick up" game status.
"1) In many parts of the country, one umpire may be all that is available or budgeted. Rookies get the bottom of the barrel stuff as well as some nice treats. I've lived in places that had players moving farm equipment from the outfield just before the game. Those rookies were the only thing that allowed the game to happen.
I thought we were discussing sanctioned baseball games here Windy. I had no idea you were talking about pick up games in the middle of a farm. I would imagine that yes, it would be hard to be a rookie working a non sanctioned game for a bunch of pick up players."

At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
