So by that logic, we shouldn't play in cooler weather due to the fact that we don't have uniform-specific cold weather gear.
The all-encompassing Safety Awareness Guide only talks about calling the game due to dangerous conditions. It makes no mention of light mists or drizzle. I guess that means it's okay, right?
For me, if the field conditions hold up just fine (no slick base paths, no standing water, etc.), I'm not going to delay a game. If I see things start to get slick, I will call it pretty darned quick. Faster than a lot of other umpires, it seems...
