Perhaps, but that also has the tendency to look a bit lazy. Everyone looks around for HP, wondering, "why doesn't that lazy bum of an ump get out and clean it?"
The fact that I keep it clean when possible earns a little more respect from the players. I often joke with the rec league players who slide into HP that they owe me a Shop-Vac.
