I think most of us that are pretty good expect our "word" to be the word ... but I have to say that in the 2000+ games I've worked, the subject of socks has NEVER EVER come up - not once. Umpire the GAME. Any umpire who got his knickers in a twist over what he perceived to be mismatched socks REALLY needs to be working elsewhere. What a ridiculous thing to get upset about.
