I didn't realize that "polo" was a color.

Ump Rube,

As they say, you can learn something new every day.

In the umpire world, polo IS a color.

Thanks!

I spent the last 45 minutes of my work day reading these posts laughing my butt off, getting a tear in my eye, and then laughing again. I have to let everyone that posts, you not only educate me on umpiring, you also bring a smile to my face.
Thanks
Kevin

You bring your wife's pants along to every game and act as if you're wearing them, while you wear the others, which you're leaving at the cleaners after each game and picking up before each subsequent game. Put the unused pants in a plastic laundry bag along with your perspiration-soaked shirts and undergarments, and by the time you get home, they'll seem used.

It sounds like a hassle and a lot of extra cleaning bills and wasted gas, but it's worth it, believe me.
Hillarious!
