Just for future reference
BE = British English
What is AE ? It can either be American or Australian English.

Well, then, is BE British English, Botswana English, Belizean English, Barbadian English, Brunei English, or Bahamian English?

I am just glad I didn't chime in with what I thought the "peaks" were that were being referred to in this thread.

Scott,

Get your mind out of the gutter. It's getting too crowded in here.

I think that women not having to wear the proper uniform because they might mess up their hair is about the dumbest thing Iv'e ever heard. If you are an umpire - be an umpire.

Thank God, I'm getting this one out of the way.

Rachel is correct. If you are an umpire, you are an umpire and should wear the prescribed uniform.

HOWEVER, the hat isn't the issue with women umpires. It is shoes, pants and shirts. Only recently have there been some break throughs on behalf of those who manufacture and sell uniforms for umpires acknowledging a woman's need for a different fit and sizes. But from what I understand, it just isn't enough.

I would think that there could be an issue with protective equipment also. A chest protector isn't a one-size-fits-all thing for men, so I can only assume it is that much more difficult for women to find a good, comfortable piece of equipment.

Maybe next spring before I am out there.

And for you Northern Exposure fans, I could run out to Roslyn at the same time.
