What did I lose?

If your plate pants were rotting out because they were salty and sweaty that means you weren't washing your plate pants on a regular basis, meaning you were not maintaining your equipment properly. That means if you were umpiring with me and were wearing a pair of salty, sweaty, rotted out pair of plate pants I would make sure that I would be standing up wind from you at all times. There no excuse for not keeping your gear in good repair. Sorry you still don't have a winner.
