that means you weren't washing your plate pants on a regular basis, meaning you were not maintaining your equipment properly.

Keep on.

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.

I didn't know there was a game on. If there is, it's in your head, not mine.
Let's return to reality, shall we? The reality is that amateur baseball is called by a very large number of umpires who don't meet your exacting criteria for pants excellence. Or shirt excellence. Or jock strap excellence for as best as I can tell.
These DeNucci imperfects allow our children to play baseball. Without them, how many thousands of games, and kids, would never be played or play? My children included.
Go right ahead, make fun of my lack of money and my split pants if it pleases you. Make fun of those umpires less fortunate who aren't DeNucci-labeled and aren't worthy of a look down your turned up nose.
It's the Old Guard standard. A self-righteous ball of hypocrisy as if you were Kings and Princes of an elite, executive society.
We are officials, in service to the game and its participants, nothing more, nothing less no matter how you want to overvalue your $15 per hour status.
