A question for ASA slow pitch guys
 
Help settle a debate. I realize this is kind of silly, but...

If you're working a game wearing shorts, do you wear white or black socks?

It is obviously a local decision, but the three-ringed, white pull-ups, I believe, are the preferred uniform. However, it does depend on where you are standing at the time.

I wear the white ankle socks when I call SP with shorts.

I hate the way those "booties" look on the ball field

Then don't use them. :D

OK. Sounds like the concensus is white socks...but white socks looks SO dorky with black shoes.

:D When I wear shorts, I'm also wearing sandles - so no socks for me.:D

Mike - I agree with most of what you say but I can't imagine anyone thinking that full size socks with black shoes and shorts look better than the ankle socks. With the ankle socks the socks become less noticeable altogether IMHO.

Well, not everyone looks that good with fullly-bared legs, either.:eek: Do I believe there could probably be more durable socks made available? Yeah, to a point. Then again, the white pull-ups have always lasted me a season

If a state UIC will permit the wearing of shorts for SP championship play, I don't think it is too much to ask that you wear the requested uniform, do you?:rolleyes:

Can you point to me in the rules or umpire manual where shorts are part of the approved uniform for SP championship play?
;)

It must be on the same page where it states that timers are not permitted to be suspended from the backstop during a game in which a clock is utilized.:p

Requested uniform? Requested by whom?

There's plenty of non-approved stuff for sale at officialgear.com

What's your point? Nobody said there wasn't, yet this is the first line of defense for someone trying to wear something on the field that is not approved by the local association or UIC.
