What they did not consider, however, was the umpire that tries to get 10 years out of a pair of pants. If her shows up at a national championship and is asked about his pink-shaded, faded out gray pants, he can still say that he bought them from ASA and meet the requirement.

Andy, there was also commentary and general agreement that the grey pants will be policed a little better at Nationals. (Not that they should be worn at Nationals in the first place...but thats another can of worms....)
