Rainy weather, triple plays, and extra innings.

[RogersUmp]

I had a HS JV game called Tuesday of last week because of rain and the make-up was on Friday. I had a youth game already scheduled so I gave that one to my son so I could keep the JV game. I got my 2-0 game in before 6:00 and drove to my son's game. It started raining on the way over and I watched him work the last 3 innings in the rain. Well, I did let him use my dry jacket (that was only 2 sizes too big for him). To his credit he never complained.

Yeah, a lot of assisgnors want the money they get for the job, but they want the easy way out. They want the schools to help them, and they expect the umpires to follow.

The ones that I get tired of is the phone calls on game day that the game has been moved up "because bad weather is on the way".

The assignor can watch the weather, he knows whats coming, he should be prepared, but he usually let the schools call us and I don't like that.

Thanks

It was a first today. I was able to wear a short sleeve shirt to umpire my game this afternoon.
