That doesn't seem to be the standard rotation -- why not have U1 go to home, PU got to third and U3 cover first and second?

It's great that working four games in the Summer heat doesn't bother you. I'm sure it's just as hot and muggy where you are as it is here. I think you're more than likely the exception to the rule though. I don't know too many other umpires that can work 23 innings in a row in 90+ heat with high humidity without feeling it.

Garth didn't say he didn't "feel it." He said he dealt with it.
I don't think what you described is unique -- it's not the norm, but it's not that unusual, either.
