what bob said is correct, bases match and plate guy does as he pleases within reason
I disagree with that. I have no problem with base umpires wearing long sleeves. And I do not know of any provision where I live that has such provisions in the first place.

Now before the long sleeves were made it was common to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath the current pull over style. No one had a problem as long as the sleeves underneath were the same color of the shirt. At that time it was not hard because there was really only one shirt we wore at that time.

Peace
