I knew that was coming.If they don't become part of the game,i don't mind,but i know in ALOT of guys eyes on here,that makes me less of an ump.So i just laugh.

If and when I start working the black and blue again, you betch I'm gonna get myself a balloon. Why get hit and or injured simply because some kid can't catch, well pitch, field, hit and throw also
![]() Nice t-Shirt to go with the balloon though |

got ya.....
Myself and several guys use the balloons here in MS.We don't use them in H.S or Juco or any college games during the reg or playoff season.It makes me laugh to see guys get on here and pile on about the balloons.

IMO, making coaches sit in the cramped, B.O.-filled dugout instead of on a nice, out in the open air bucket is a prime example of an OOO with nothing better to do than play cop.

I don't really care about the balloon but why aren't you wearing a proper shirt?

Proper?
Quote:
I had a feeling that was gonna be asked also.This was the MS USSSA 12YR OLD 3A State Championship Game,The UIC didn't care what I wore as long as I was there.I wouldn't wear the raft or an ua shirt in my HS,JUCO,or D-2 games,but its 100+ and as long as I'm asked to do a game,I'll do it!People around here know I'm busting my tail from the time I set foot on,till the time I walk off the field.Raft,CP....Proper shirt,UA shirt....as long as they call me for the games that's all that matters

I get what you're saying Bluetick48, but I do think as umpires we do have a certain standard to maintain as far as appearance. But I guess we also worry about what's accepted in your geographical area. In my area, it doesn't matter how available you are, if you wear a t-shirt to the games, you'll still get the calls for the kiddie ball becuase you probably do a pretty good job and nobody else will do it...so you could show up in a clown suit because you can...I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...keep up the good work.

I totally agree.We (the group of about 10 umps which all do juco and D-2) have went to the dri-fit shirts and UA shirts in the summer here.Its accepted because we(3 of us) are the assingors for the area.I would never do a hs,juco,d-2 game in a shirt or with a raft.When it gets 100+,in MS we do our best to stay alive.Thanks for the reply.
