ASA Cold Weather Gear
As I've said in another thread, if ASA doesn't allow it, I typically don't wear it. However, I've yet to see anything from ASA regarding cold weather gear for umps. The lining in their "lined jacket" is a joke (not to mention the fact that it's not even remotely waterproof), and the only long-sleeves they have in their uniform is the mock turtleneck.
Let's face it, not all ball is played in 75-degree weather with beautiful sunshine, so does ASA have any concessions for umpires who are calling in the cold? If not, why the hell not? Even in NC, I've had to call in 30-degree weather when the season runs late.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
