The highest heat index recorded in Mid-Atlantic was 123 on 7/15/95. Several of us umpired 3 games each in a youth FP travel tourney that day, although a few teams withdrew. The games were long, with extra dugout time and extra water time, but we did it. I've wondered a few times if games should have been cancelled, or if it was worth the minimal $. None of the fields had lights, so slipping the sched was not an option.
