I'm going to break in here for a moment. As I stated previously, I also do not tuck in my pullover (only wear it on the bases, remember?). Now, when I make a call, I do what I was taught years ago. I freeze in my ready position, see it, read it, run it again, then take a step forward (bending at the knee) to make my "emphatic" safe call. You end up almost in a scissors position.
My pullover does not ride up more than an inch or so and when I hustle back to position, a slight tug brings the errant elastic waist band back into place. Nothing to it at all.
I've never been gigged by my assigners, I've never been spoken to about it and I have never had a complaint from a partner about it. I work with slimmer partners that tuck in their pullovers at the plate and we have never heard anything about it.
You see, my past and present assigners were concerned with neat appearance - no "slept in" uniforms, crisp creases, neat and tidy. But not as fanatically as some of you out there. My "overlords" are more concerned with my performance, my game management and how I work with my partners.
