Then perhaps they should put something in 10-5?

A jock strap or cup isn't included in 10.5 either, but people still wear them. Then again, if you aren't smart enough to wear them, shame on you. If you live in a cold weather region, you probably have cold weather undergarments and, if you aren't smart enough to wear them.....

BTW, the gear of which I am speaking was a navy jacket with an ASA logo over the left chest.

The all-encompassing Safety Awareness Guide only talks about calling the game due to dangerous conditions. It makes no mention of light mists or drizzle. I guess that means it's okay, right? ;)

For me, if the field conditions hold up just fine (no slick base paths, no standing water, etc.), I'm not going to delay a game. If I see things start to get slick, I will call it pretty darned quick. Faster than a lot of other umpires, it seems...

Wouldn't sweaters and jackets fit that requirement?

That's all? No gloves?

The ASA jacket is hardly lined at all.

I once was a pure as the snow, but I drifted, just like this topic.

When playing a game in less than favorable conditions, and the field is still playable, how do I keep my line up card dry? Maybe I don't. Just deal with it -- improvise, adapt, overcome.

I may truncate my recording, make changes under the dugout roof, use the line up as a reference and make sure the official score book is properly updated... The umpires line up card is not official in most levels of ball we play; it is only used as a reference and memory aid for the umpire. Sometimes it may be a wet memory aid.

Re: OP...

What's the issue?

These... http://www.officialgear.com/images/ump670z.jpg

...go in these... http://www.officialgear.com/images/640z.jpg

...then you put it in this... http://www.officialgear.com/images/300navyz.jpg

Then everything stays dry.

The end.

You're used to having to issue instructions with simple one word answers and pictures? :D

SethPDX Mon Mar 16, 2009 05:24pm
Yeah, I find keeping explanantions to coaches short and simple helps. :D
