Scrimages?
"The minor league umpires opted to not work spring training games, even though they are not part of the umpires' deal with PBUC. Without minor league umpires, some minor league spring training games were played without umpires, with coaches or players filling in."
Was the coach calling the balls and strikes while standing behind the mound, or was the catcher calling the balls and strikes from behind trhe plate?
I wonder which uniform the coaches or players would use to umpire. Perhaps a Pro-replica with the large number sewn onto the sleeve. "Hey COACH, your NO DARLING."
