* Asked and answered, your honor. I dont measure any equipment unless a problem is brought to my attention. Despite your assertions, the book does not tell us to measure mitts, bases, balls or uniform patches during the pregame.
Then what does the book mean when it says, before the start of the game, the umpire in chief shall inspect the equipment of the players?
This would include *all* player equipment. No one does it, but it is certainly in the book/books.
Tim.
