Not sure how that could happen since I would never accept an assignment of a one man game.

Don I would suggest that maybe the problem lies with you if you can't see the bases on a field. I have never seen an umpire EVER have that problem.

" . . . well be like you and be guessing . . . "

I have no idea what you mean with this statement but I would bet that none of those you have named "guess at calls."

Here's an idea:

Form a four man crew with Steven Tyler, PWL and fitump56 and the two of you can umpire anyway you want.

Well then we are in total agreement as to your situation. In 2,3 or 4 man I would never brush a bag either.
Since you have never had to make a call from 120' to a dirt colored bag then it seems your advice and opinion on this matter should be weighted accordingly
