I can only remember 3 games I worked solo, there may be more, but I can't recall them. One was an adult wood bat summer league DH (actually that would be two games). Another was HS, and the last one was little kids on 60' bases.

An umpire working solo is at a disadvantage, to say the least. If I was working solo and called someone out for running out of their basepath I would take no grief about it. Likewise, if I called someone safe because I did not think they ran far enough out of their basepath to get called out I would also take no grief about it.

Actually, I think that would be true whether I was working solo or with a partner.
