Would you really consider an umpire to be an acquaintance?

I would not, unless that umpire happens to have a prior relationship with that child outside of softball.

What those statistics are really alluding to is the potential for the offender to be alone with the child, and I hardly think that is very likely at the ballpark.

I guess it is possible that the predator could first contact the child in their capacity as an umpire and then attempt to pursue the relationship outside of the ballpark, but as previously noted, the very same could be said of virtually anyone in the child's life, in any arena.
