The American guys are from SC, NC and FL. There are a few Israelis rotating in as part of the crews as well.
The American flag no the back of all the shirts is the result of the American guys providing the uniforms for all the league officials. Though it isn't a critical matter, the American flags may be changed to Israeli flags, at least for the Israeli umpires.

The delayed dead ball signal is what we use here for HS (FED) baseball.
I kind of like the home run derby concept, sounds like fun. Oh wait, are we allowed to have fun?

Our association requires us to wear a Flag patch on the left sleeve. It does say in our constitution that it is not required, and that there is no penatly for not having it, but most consider it a part of the unifrom.
I believe the basketball association in our area requires the patch on the back of their neck as well. Do most associations not mandate this? |

The question is where does non uniform badges, ribbons and paraphenelia end? I say it stops with zero, then there are no arguments. Do you support AIDS prevention, do you wear a ribbon demonstrating so? Are you for gay rights, got a pinkie for that one? Breast cancer, people with dual citizenships, how about a Iranian flag for Shamir? He's proud of his country. We have many ways to express our interests.....off the ballfield, thank you.

First, pink is for breast cancer awareness, and I proudly display a pink "support the cure" magnet on the back of my car. Second, I for one American did not all of a sudden become patriotic after 9/11. I proudly served in my country's military, back when it was far more unpopular to do so. I have been waving that Grand Old Flag all my life, and I'm damn proud to be an American where I have the right to do it! There are a whole lot of places where you can't freely express yourself. Third, what makes you think it's any of your damn business what anyone wears, especially when it comes to supporting our national patriotism? Or breast cancer research? Or Father's Day? The pros wear the pink and blue ribbons when these days roll around. What's wrong with that. Fourth, who is Shamir, and why is he umpiring baseball in Iran? If you are talking about Shmuelg, he lives in Israel, where they actually play baseball, and you are very insulting.

Pride can be displayed without wearing a flag; this came into popularity after 9/11 where our patriotic tendencies got so many of us duped by El Busho and the slaughter of American kids in Iraq.
