Well, where I work it ranges from 90's to 118 F and I'm working 4,5,6 games in a day, I'm all about the water and keeping myself cool... because there are times you feel your head spinning. I watch many players and umpires take a dive... I know how to stay up - Aqua.
That pitchers plate is a waste of time.
I worked with an NCAA guy in 3 man and he was like "so where do you want to meet between innings, center field"
HA! Dream on, i'm not hanging out in center field.
"Well I'll be right over there by my water bottle between innings."
A few innings in he was cramping up!. this NCAA robot crap .. he brings no water!!
Experienced good umpire.. but NCAA weeded out the survival skills for the long hot tourney play.
I went and got him a water and told him to drink.
