We don't assign many solo games around here, but they happen more with the lower level. That is mostly rookie level baseball and the new guys get their share of bad things. It toughens them up and makes them better. When they do get to step up to better games, they are some of the best plate umpires we see. They know that they have to focus and then move. I worked a lot of solo games when I was coming up. It made me understand the game more and I didn't have to rely on someone else to learn ow to make a tough call.
