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.

On Mar. 11, 2008 at 01:50amEST you stated and I quote: "Yes, Steven, it has. I rottted out a pair of PU pants from salty sweat, slowly let loose the threading. Standing upright, there was nothing to report. Squatting was another matter."
You admitted to wearing a pair of pants that rotted out from salt and sweat. That can only mean one thing: You do not bother to wash your umpiring pants. One does not have to spend a fortune to look professional. It does not take a lot of money to properlay maintain your officiating equipment. Wash your pants regularily and they will not rot out from salt and sweat.
And if you want to get back to reality, your tirade is absolute nonsense.
