Not looking pretty can be quickly and easily fixed. Competency for the level to be assigned is a whole different matter. If you have an assignor that just isn't desperate for bodies, he won't assign anyone to see that "first pitch" until he's confident that the person is ready to see that first pitch. Being properly dressed is a miniscule amount of what is needed to be ready.
