The other day I showed up to the final of a hs tournament and was assigned to the plate.What made this interesting was that five of my fellow umpires were standing around.When I asked what was up they said none of them had any where they had to be so they asked if I minded a six man crew.I said that sounds like fun so to the coaches amazment six umpires walked on to the field.It was great with nothing but strikes and balls pretty much to worry about.The only real comments I heard negative was when a errant throw hit the third base umpire and when into dead ball.Of course the coach of the defense yells see you got to many umpires.All in all we had agreat time though.
