Were the pants you sent me the ones that won't hold a crease? They are extremely light, but won't hold a crease. My mother in law had a press and she couldn't get them to hold a crease. I ironed them and couldn't get them to hold a crease.
Been an umpire for thirty years and refuse to umpire travel ball. No scout is watching a 12 year and under team and parents act like a kids life depends on it.
Had a pre season HS game once and a pitcher threw a nasty slider on the inside corner I balled. Of course I dropped an F bomb. Before the catcher asked I said That one got me. His coach asked catcher where it missed. He repeated verbatim what I said. In between innings the coach came up to me and said he wasn't trying to show me up and that they were working on going inside to batters. I just told the coach that all that work was paying off because it fooled the batter and the umpire.
