Think I could pull this off in my next game? Set up a folding chair behind the plate, and play ball!

:clap:

oh boy. Too many cruel comments flooding my mind... must resist...

There was actually an umpire in a local unit who would ask for a chair between innings. I was at his game when he went to sit down and the chair broke..... :shakehead:

Sometimes I wish this forum were private. So much to say.

Last year I seemed to follow a guy that I was told by HCs that the last guy needed a ball bucket to sit on between innings and was told once he fell off of it. LOL. He also had a HSM that was painted like a American Flag. I advised the Association and don't think they gave a crap.

That is actually a shorter version than the one I watched on Yahoo...

The Yahoo version included the refs vocals, yelling "Out on black! Red ball!"

Not sure about OBR but in FED an Umpire is allowed to have a wheelchair on the field.

I think about that on them long 5-6-7 games days :smachhead:

I told this to Mike Gallego and his son Niko at the UCLA Alumni Game, and they treated me like you-must-be-joking-but-it's-not-that-funny. So I had to insist that it was true. They still didn't believe it.

So I went and got the book and showed it to them. They started laughing their asses off. It was absurd. When they thought I was joking, they didn't really laugh that much. But when they saw the actual FED rule book, it was the real joke, and they erupted.
