I may very well mess up my typing (although not very likely). But a wrong spelling because I don't know better...won't happen. The difference between Gaul and gall is much like the difference between french fries and calf fries.

Edited to make the last one gall...because like it says, I am an ucking fidiot...and messed up my typing

Yeah. I know that. What I was talking about was where he said "the difference between Gaul and gaul." Think he might have meant the "difference between Gaul and gall?" That's why I hightlighted those words where I quoted him. Come on, keep up.

Oh, THAT'S why you had that in red!

But, if that is what he meant, one thing we know for sure... he KNEW the difference!

Getting back to the OP about sunglasses and their use, I wear regular glasses with snap-on sunglasses. I am light sensitive to bright sun light and my doctor told me to wear sunglasses on bright days. When I am wearing them I can not get them off without removing my glasses and making a production out of it. >
I do remove my HSM when I am talking to a coach.

At one of the clinics I attended I was instructed (taught), to always ask the coach to come to you and then start walking toward the coach so that you meet. At the meeting, ALWAYS try to turn so that the two of you are facing the field and to let the coach have his say. At that point you make your statement and then conclude the conference. If the coach start charging you and you have not asked for him to meet you, then you have different protocols to follow.

I have been “dinged” for wearing glasses/sunglasses, for wearing full gear at softball games, for calling ALL rule infractions and a lot more by partners, assignors and evaluators. It always comes down to the personal preferences of the person making the comments. I was “dinged” ten years ago when I started wearing the HSM and did not get high level games for 3 or 4 years.

I hustle; I have a neat clean uniform and present a professional appearance and do the best I can.

Pardon my lack of understanding as I am a little slow on some things relating to softball umpiring, but please clarify a few things for me:

I do remove my HSM when I am talking to a coach.

What does HSM stand for? I assume something to do with sunglasses the way you used the term.

I have been “dinged” ..., for wearing full gear at softball games

What do you mean you were dinged for wearing full gear at softball games? Did you wear chest protector, etc on the field as base umpire, or dinged for wearing a chest protector etc begind the plate, and that confuses me even more.

Could you please clarify for my addled mind?

Thanks

Are you wearing a hat during this conversation?
