We do games (HS season starts in April; fall league goes into Oct) each year in those conditions, but we wear what is necessary.

Championship play or not, I still want to wear a uniform that is 100% ASA. I just wish ASA would give guidelines on cold weather uniforms, rather than leave it up to the individual umpire.

For example, I know for a fact that there have been Nationals held in WI. Being from that area, I know that it's not uncommon to have it cold enough to snow in August or September. A bit odd, yes, but it does happen. Hell, in July of 2004, it didn't get above 60 for the entire week that I was there.

Just a hint from ASA would be nice, you know?
