Do you work as grounds crew?

I showed up to a SP Mens league game recently and the teams were standing around and said "aint you gonna chalk the fields blue?"

Uh, no. I dont chalk fields.

"Well the other always umpire chalks it"

I know the umpire, hes a nfhs fed ball umpire who is fairly old.. impressive that he does that.. but I'm not a grounds keeper and thats not my job. I dont care if they chalk them or not, but I'm sure not going to do it.

Do any of you show up to say league games and chalk the field for them?

When I was a home team coach, I did my share of chalking the fields. Its NOT an umpire job. But do any of you do it?
