I have never understood the mentality that pays the plate umpire more than the base umpire. Both positions, if worked properly, are equally demanding. Is it for the "discomfort" factor of having to wear the gear as PU? Or is it because many associations use the BU spot as training for the new umpire? What is the rationale there??? Or...is it just a way for organizations to save money?
