I couldn't begin to list all of them, but a recent incident involved one of our fine younger umpires.

We were (I know this is hard to imagine) in a rain delay here in Sunny Seattle. This fine young umpire decided to enjoy the delay by taking a nap. I waited til he had been asleep a good five minutes, with his head tilted back and his mouth wide open -- just wide open enough so I could grab a bottle of water, remove the cap and try my best to rehydrate the young man.

He is still spewing.

Perhaps I should tell of the first time -- of many -- one of my friends endured Vaseline on an indicator.
