No, I don't have a Marine's respect for the importance of appearance, but I have some respect.

In Tee's story, he sees "Smitty" with a ballbag for the bases, assumes he's a "Little League" umpire, and makes him take it off. Then he goes on the field with him, apparently without incident other than an annoying use of the indiclicker.

If removing the ball bag is so easy (it took one comment from Tee), and it immediately trasnforms Smitty into a Real Umpire(tm), why is it such a big deal?
