Someone should search back and see if SB/BB got the same postings and comments when we went away from the elbeco.

107 degrees in Oklahoma
 

The following links are to photos of what our Metro Association umpires were wearing this past weekend. Temps were at 107 on Thursday and Friday was a bit cooler at 101. After 4 games back to back most blues were practically wiped out but with 48 HS teams in this tourney we prevailed with shorts... A couple of notables within our organization are Rocky Arrington, former NFHS Softball Committee Rules Interpreter and current OSSAA softball rules interpreter, and Bob Landers, current SAC and Lone Star Conference softball and baseball assigner. It's not all bad to wear shorts calling FP...:cool:

is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Don't forgot the sporty watch...

IF IT IS THAT HOT DO NOT UMPIRE!!!!!!!

IF IT IS THAT HOT WHY UMPIRE?:eek: :eek: :eek:

I can't wait to see how the NFL guys look in the
new winter gear/long pants !
I remember officiating many a football game in
late CNY fall in the snow and cold wearing all the
gear you could get on to keep warm.
Called enough cold weather softball and baseball
games there too--wearing gloves, ear warmers.
Heat is brutal--- will someone please come up with
a shirt material that is cool ????

Well... It's obvious... There were 48 teams with 48 HS coaches from 48 public education institutions and not one coach, administrator or parent commented negatively about our uniforms...
Most of these guys ARE baseball umpires. Some of them officiate football as well. This is the only sport close enough to baseball to let them wear shorts.

It figures that they are baseball guys..no self respecting softball umpire would be caught wearing that...... unreal....If you have ANY doubts about how ridiculous you look......... stop doubting....Im gonna use those pictures in my umpires school uniform presentation....on how NOT to look..... un-real


and dont give me any yammer about the heat or humidity....Im not buying it.

And whats he doing with his LEFT hand? :D

I worked a State Tournament here in North Texas about a month or so ago, and one game that I had the plate on, the temperature at game time was 108, a new local record for that date. Guess what....I was wearing the proper uniform. We weren't given an option to do anything else, and I wouldn't have taken it if they had.

PUL EEEEZE, I guess you want a medal for wearing pants during a record high for one game... Jeeez Try three or four...
You know what, big fella, We were wearing the proper uniform for our association... BTW Merle Butler is a member as well and NO this wasn't a ASA sanctioned tournament.
You guys with your overinflated egos about uniformity... Get real...
