What's the haps from Kentucky?

So far, the two most important things for umpires.

Umpires being sent to work National tournaments will be required to purchase their pants from ASA. This is to insure all pants are of the same color.

At this point in time, background investigations have been put on hold for umpires though I don't know how many times the issue will return in the future.

The 2009 ASA National Convention will be at the Peppermill in Reno, NV

First, let me say Hallelujah.

But, I hope something is written to avoid the following, which I post as a bit of devil's advocate.

(First, we must make an assumption that hell has frozen over.)

Let's say umpire B, and we'll change his name here, call him Oner. Oner has been chosen to do the 12B Western. (Like I said, hell has frozen over.) Oner's UIC, and we'll call him Tom, sez hey Oner, don't forget, you have to buy some ASA pants.

Tom tells Oner this because 1) you have to buy ASA pants, and 2) Oner's pants have been washed and sunbleached so many times they are now pink.

Oner is a frugal sort, and has his receipt showing he indeed bought those pants from ASA. Maybe it was in the previous century, but by golly sure enough they came from the ASA uniform sales program in beautiful OKC.

So now what are we gonna do?

(I know what I would do. As soon as I found out, I'd buy me another couple pairs o'pants. But I ain't everybody...which is a good thing.)
