You mean to tell me you would umpire a game when you know there is a dangerous situation just waiting to happen. Gopher holes, tree stumps, etc?

I think we all realize (including the players) that fences are around baseball fields so the players should know about the fence. However, in the field that I was talking about, who would think to watch out for a park bench when chasing down a fly ball???
