Does anyone have a list they would like to share that could be handled in less than 15 minutes...since most umpires do not have the luxury of getting to weekday games hours in advance? |
1) Make eye contact/read each other
2) Don't screw up
3) Make eye contact.
That one works for me when I am pressed for time.
