I worked the plate yesterday in a state championship game, 16-17 year olds. We had a 5 minute pre-game. And everyone did EXACTLY what they were supposed to do.

Of course none of us were rookies, and all of us rarely work a 6 man game, which makes pre-game essential.

I will never work a game with someone I have not worked with without at least a 5 minute pregame. I can say a lot in 5 minutes. With someone I have worked with often the pregame is very brief.

I'm not trying to make excuses, I'm just explaining my point of view. But for those of you who umpire at parks that do not have dressing rooms, what do your younger umpires do who do not drive? They have no car to get changed by, so what are they supposed to do?.
Come dressed (or at least have the undergarments on).

park the bike by the dressing room.

Park the bike near the back of the parking lot where you would park if you had a car.

Get a ride.

Canadaump, are there rest rooms for men at this park?

The rest room floors were drenched in urine and water. Not saying that is an excuse, just saying.

Seeing as this thread has turned into a "let's all get nasty at canadaump6 and make severely unkind judgements" thread, I think it is only fair that I take a stand.

I don't think it did, and the rest of what you posted is a copy (or very close to one) of a post that's already been deleted once.
