Umpire offered me his, but I thought better of it and had game management go to the locker room with directions (and a reminder that the game can't start without the R's whistle ).
Isn't your whistle rule number 2? Only preceeded by making sure you zipped your fly?

I'm in the same boat but in basketball. Luckly, I carry a spare in my jacket.
