When I was given the honor of working 4-man at the National Area Code Showcase games at Qualcomm Stadium in 2000, I was assigned to work games on back-to-back days. The first day, I wasn't allowed to work the plate because an umpire senior to me insisted on the plate. I then chose 1st base. The next day, with an entirely different crew, again a senior umpire chose the plate. Again, I chose 1st base. I wanted as much action as I could get. But I would have worked any position. I think seniority should have something to do with who works what.
