Very good post, especially considering that this is an extremely hot summer
in most of the US. I will be working the 18U Elite 43' Nationals in Sulphur, La.
Everyone knows La.'s humidity is higher than most and what with the soaring
temperatures, you really have to be careful. This will be my second major
tournament in La. this year. In the first, we almost lost one umpire for good.
I found that drinking G2, whichever flavor you prefer, and sipping water every
half inning really does give a boost. I have already started the hydrating
process. Portions of the tournament start Sat. That is if we can divert this
hurricane that is presently in the gulf.
Good Luck everyone, and as Mike stated, start hydrating.
