Tough game with a lot of issues

"As I am doing so the assistant coach intercepts me and tells me that it is bullsh*t that I am not going to let them sit outside the dugout." (PLACE EJECTION HERE)

Is there some local rule that prohibits jewelry? If not, what's wrong with wearing jewelry?

HIM: "Why didn't you make that call at third?"

YOU: "With the bases loaded I'm at home. Not my call."

Hey, the base umpire makes the calls on the bases, hence the name. Managers, coaches, players, fans, etc. should not be allowed to give input on umpire mechanics. They see a 1st to 3rd rotation or a R2 tag up, and all of a sudden they get it in their heads that the plate umpire has 3rd all the time.

My old assignor would send me to these leagues with the instruction to clean house.
