I don't know if you've heard or not but the real minor league umpires are on strike. So what you had on the field tonight was not PRO level umpires. You said that it was ok to wear those uniform in "our" games so what was the surprise when "your" (same level) umpires had the same uniforms on?

I'm sorry I misunderstood your point. I realize the umpires are on strike. The surprise is that if you're going to be working a game at that level, you make sure that everyone matches with everything, or at least tries. The color of his plate pants tonight are nothing that any of the umpire supply houses I've seen sell, hence the reason that he looks like he stopped at Walmart on the way to the game, at least buy a pair of heather greys from somewhere, it's not that hard to do.

You can be sure that if I work with someone in a high school game and they're wearing pants that are that light, a report is going to the board, there's no excuse for it. And, it's a clear violation of the by-laws.

My point is if the scabs are going to play dress up and pretend they are real umpires, they should look the part of what everyone expects from an umpire.

Is that clear enough for you?
