The three H.S. baseball and softball assigners in Michigan for which Junior and I umpire assign for leagues that have rules that state that the second game of a doubleheader WILL start no later than 15 minutes after the first game has ended. These leagues are so adorable. I have a DH at one of these schools in late May when I hope that the weather will be in the 80'sF by then and the walk from the baseball diamond to the parking lot is 10 minutes long,
 .Nobody wants to have games drag on but the 15 minute rule is unrealistic. If you just worked the plate in a 7-inning game in hot weather requires "somewhat" more that 15 minutes to recover and get ready for the next games. These school administrators do not have a clue. I don't know about other officials but Junior and I do not wear "combo" pants for H.S. games; they just don't look professional. That means changing completely from one uniform to another. I know I am Superman, , but one just doesn't jump into a phone booth (can one still find one of those things and presto go from one uniform to another.MTD, Sr.
