Good catch! Yes, he must have been to have rotated home.

I know an umpire who thinks U2 is just the group that has Bono for a front man.

We used the NFHS Umpire manual to review responsibilities and sitches before the game. It lists U1 as home, U2 as first (not Bono), U3 as second and U4 as home. Is OBR different in how it refers to the 4?

Our association uses NFHS for most of our games and no one had a book with OBR 4-man mechanics.

Yes. I was on 3B and nearly died of boredom.

I seriously thought he was joking until I see the TD grab two of the radios! Then, he passes one to U1 and the other to U3 and says, "you call in changes for visitors and (turning to the other Umpire) you for Home".

I nearly fell down laughing! The assignor had been razzing my azz for having to wear the radio. He thought he was getting one over on me. But since HE was U1, the joke was on him.

Still, it was weird! I understand why some feel the way they do about Little League!

That is weird. Why not just give one radio to the PU since, you know, he's the one who takes the subs?

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the FED umpiring manual or case book how they label umpires and runners.

In the CCA and other books, the PU is listed as PU, first base is U1, Second base is U2, and third base is U3. Much simpler.

Tee, yet another thing you can fix in your NFHS publications!
