Frozen rags for umpires - professional?
It wasn't long ago that I was catching. I would bring a cooler full of ice and wet rags to the field to use during my team's at bat to stay cool.
What do you all think of the umpire that puts a wet/frozen rag on his neck for 1/2 an inning? I think it looks unprofessional and amateur, but if its the only way to keep yourself in the game, maybe its more professional to not care what you look like and do what you have to do in order to stay in the game mentally. Thoughts? |

Half an inning? Maybe discretely between innings - actually, if he goes back to the backstop area during warmups not a bad idea at all since of the 6 billion people on earth exactly NONE are watching a plate umpire between innings. But how the heck does a PU work with a rag on the back of his neck for half an inning?

Gaff- is this what Rick Reilly wrote an article on a couple weeks ago? The pouch that can be drained of its beer via your zipper?
Almost better than the stadium pal, which allows for 0 bathroom breaks until your pouch is full! As Reilly put it, invented by Bengals fans (what are they going to miss, a punt?) |
