In an effort to hijack this, just a few comments about the other pictures:
Are they playing in a sandbox? And I say this because I haven't seen the field yet this year 
The base umpire looks to have pretty good timing and positioning on the force plays at first.
Plate umpire - seems to have a good H/T on 2044, maybe a bit high, but IMO, working high is better than working low. Funny how plate is in a jacket and base is in sleeves.
And now the big hijack question: why the danglie? Seriously, what does this protect? If you are tracking like you are suppose to, it is not needed. To me, the danglie stopping a softball is akin to the foamy commercial where the shaving cream tries to stop the roller coaster. |
Okay - what do you think of MY stance (taken at the NY State School - the gentleman with the jacket and clipboard is Ed Whipple, a very senior SEC ump who comes up to help at our school):
this was about three years ago, and I have lost about 50 lbs since
