Question What is your definition of "universal?"

Dave, I know a guy who is on a D1 staff (not just someone that works a couple of non-conference games), who has worked some Minor League ball in his career and he uses an indicator when he works the plate.

I even was at a tournament that this particular D1 umpire was working. It is a tournament that many umpires work late in the summer and is a bonding event for many in the association. Well I was not working at this particular time when this D1 umpire had a foul ball hit him in the hand and broke his indicator. Well because I was watching the game he asked me to go get him a replacement and I had to run back to the parking lot, go in my car and get him one of my indicators. This umpire is also a two time state final umpire and is one of the best umpires I have ever worked with. I was kind of on the fence of this issue until I saw that. Also when I work with other college umpires and guys that have history working Minor League ball, they all use indicators as well behind the plate. So I am not sure the "universal" description you gave applies to the people I have come in contact with that work D1 ball.

Peace
