Well, I certainly tuck my jacket in when working the plate. I am curious about the other statement about seeing undergarments. I've never seen an umpire's undergarments exposed during a game because their jacket rode up on them.
My schit stays tucked in, no matter what happens out there, and the same goes for many umpires who are larger than I am. I've seen some pants rip out the seat, which is rather funny, but that happens to skinny guys too. My tailor reinforces my pants in the seat to insure against that happening.
