Hey, I'm with you on this. When ASA some years back decided to put the flag on the umpire's hat, I went to our local ASA gear supplier and bought a couple of the remaining non-flag hats to try to ride through this. I didn't (and still don't) think putting a flag emblem where it is going to get soiled and sweat-stained is proper. Sadly, ASA continues to put flags on the hats, and my non-flag hats are starting to look too worn.
All I'm saying is screw ups happen. That doesn't make them members of the umpires underground terrorist movement.
