There are three things I don't do on the field: Give a rules clinic, demonstrate balks, perform field maintenance.

When was the last time you did a solo game?

You brush the plate, that's maintenance, and there is a good reason for it at 5' feet away you want to see the corners and know when the sliding runners foot touches. So why at 120' is there such an uproar when an ump wants to see the bag?
