In my high school games I keep my jacket on while my partner takes his off, or vice versa, pretty frequently. As for college, I think the CCA manual says any umpire can wear a jacket even if the others don't.

One player wearing sleaves and another not?? |

Don't agree with it, surprised that you would see a crew working in a high profile DI conference like the SEC doing it, but the book (and I assume the conference coordinator) say it's OK. |

What is wrong with accommodating one umpire who may be colder/warmer than another? There's a difference between being uniform and being a clone.

Assuming you are referring to MLB, the plate umpire's uniform often differs from his partners' uniforms on the bases. The base umpires are almost always dressed alike.

With multiple base umpires, those base umpires would always be in jacket together or in short sleeves together. The plate umpire could choose to wear a shirt since it's hotter work back there. (And sunglasses are a red herring, really. Nobody I know considers those to be part of a uniform the way jackets and shirts are.) |

Why is it that whenever someone posts a point of view different than yours you feel the need to label them a clone? |

Because your commentary is one that I would expect from a clone. I can't see anyone other than a clone would care, let alone address it. That's just my personal opinion.

Quite frankly, the jackets were the least troubling aspect of the game to me. Not really troubling at all -- if that's acceptable in softball, then it is. Have at it.
However, I can't remember one call on a tag play the entire game (at least the half I watched) where a base umpire came set for the play. There was one steal of second where the ball got dropped where the umpire was still in mid-run when the ball, fielder, and runner came together. Not sure about the softball world, but this would be a serious ding in NCAA baseball, where a major point of emphasis this year is coming completely set for all plays. |

For what it's worth, I don't find it necessary to take 4 steps up the third base line when asking for help on a checked swing. It looks a bit ridiculous and delays the call unnecessarily. Mask off - one step - point - "Did she swing?" done.
