Smocks are ugly. And you wouldn't wear anything like those around in public, would you?

Actually, it was a seven man crew, on a Little Legaue game. Some of the local LL guys were taking things a bit too seriously, so I decided to loosen them up a bit, and take them out of their comfort zone. Also, one guy was going to Regionals, so we rotated positions every inning, so he could see every spot on the field. (The "out" guy ate dinner, and ordered for the next guy "out").

I actually thought the EJ was funny. He absolutely blows not only the drop right in front of him, but forgets to look for the ball. Then gets a proper earful. Think how much grief that umpire took back in the dressing room from his pals. HA! They're going to prank him for the rest of the season.

The really funny part is the fan in the red shirt, 10 feet away proudly holding the ball over his head!!!

I wouldn't wear one of those things. The arms in them come 3/4 of the way down my arms. It's the worst of both worlds -- it's not short-sleeved and it's not long-sleeved.

The arms are made (in all sizes) for people with long arms. I'm not so blessed. At least with the long sleeve jackets if a few inches of material is left over, it simply bunches up a bit at my wrist.

I would wear the smock if the sleeves ended above my elbow. They don't. I've tried a bunch on.

It is in the umpire manual. If a player or manager says that they went back and looked at replay, they shall be ejected. He didn't make that up, the announcers didn't know what they were talking about...they were partially right, they likely didn't know it's a guideline specifically spelled out in the MLBUM or maybe it is PBUC, I can't remember.
