I was fortunate enought to work in OKC a few years back and had a travel snafu that required new shirts when I arrived. I met many of the wonderful people that work in the uniform and supply area and you are absolutely correct. They are all wonderful people that enjoy what they do and enjoy meeting us umpires from around the country. They were/are a joy to talk to and trade stories and provide the utmost in customer service.
In my case, they provided me with what I needed and agreed to bill my Commissioner (with his blessing) whom I would pay when I returned home. They really made what could have been a very stressful situation, very relaxing and comforting.
