Thanks for the comments guys. And I don't plan on telling anyone about my new uniform, rather I'll let them see it for themselves. I hate to say it but I'll probably be one of the few people in my city and surrounding cities that is dressed professionally.

Where do you live, Dogpatch? I swear you talk about the umpires in your area like they're all a bunch of hicks from the sticks. Around here it's the other way around. Very few umpires do not look sharp and the majority do.

And what Mikebran is teasing you about is that the belt you have is called "patent" leather, not "patented" leather. Patent is the type of leather, not leather that was registered with the Patent Office.

This confuses me as well. I know a couple of umpires from Ontario who dress and work very professionally. They also work the Baseball Canada national tournament at the upper levels. I'm constantly surprised at our young man's descriptions of the local umpires. I wonder where in Ontario he works.

What does the country of Canada have to do with the United States Patent Office?

I didn't know Dog Patch was in the province of Ontario, Canada.

Perhaps you could send something from your "rookie" year?

Steve didn't mention a country in his post. Why do you assume he didn't mean the Canadian Patent office? http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/en/goc/patents.shtml

Are you really this desparate to start something? It's a saying, for crying out loud. Remember Li'l Abner was syndicated in several countries, including Canada.

1. http://strategis.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/cipo.../welcom-e.html

2. We have a little hamlet in the Dago area called Dogpatch in the far-southeastern area of the county near the town of Boulevard. It's not too farfetched to believe there is the Canadian equivalent of this.

My use of the term Dogpatch is just a metaphor for any backwoods redneck hillbilly town. The town doesn't have to feature Mammy Yokum, or actually be named Dogpatch in order to qualify.

3. I could send you the names of my assignor and association president from that year, and they could send you affidavids swearing that I dressed neat as a pin from day one, always a pressed uni, shiny shoes and properly creased and sized 8 stitch base hat or combo plate hat. I never had to actually think about "really nice" shoe polish or replacing an adjustable hat.

That's three. Get back under your bridge now.

A professional appearance is one of the many things you need to posess to do your job correctly. Little did you know that it cost so much huh? When you get everything you need then you'll need something to haul it all in. Good luck!
