Tshirt

[BRUMP]

I was at CDP this week as a spectator. While in town I saw a shirt that said you know your an umpire when: 1. You've gone through an ejection mechanic during an argument in real life.

2. You've practiced your strike three call in the mirror.

3. A dish is not something you eat on.

4. You have no space left in the trunk of your car.

5. Wearing your cap backwards is a sin.

6. You know that catches and umpires can't get hit with foul tips.

7. You know what the abbreviations FED and OBR mean.

8. A clicker is only used for counting pitches and changing channels.

9. You know the difference between polo and powder.

10. You come to umpire in Cooperstown.

The last one was bad but some of them were pretty good. Unfortunately for me they were out of XL and up and my being 6'2 and 215 I couldn't justify spending 20 bucks for a shirt I couldn't wear. But it got me thinking anything else we can add to this list????

6 is false.

6 is false.

A foul tip is a ball that goes directly onto the catchers mitt. So how is it hitting the catcher or umpire?

[Jocko]

Your athletic shoes are as clean as your dress shoes

You watch ESPN to see the umpires

You know who Jocko Conlan was

You spend countless hours reading a 130 page book

You go to a clinic when you're not sick

You have enough gear for 3 catchers

Appeal is something you grant but probably don't have

You're apparently not an umpire if you don't know this.

What if the ball hits bat, glove, catchers face mask and then is sucured in the catchers glove?

Tha part about it not hitting an umpire is true.

Your right. I stand corrected.

Not this summer they aren't, fields are so dry the dust is in every nook and cranny.....

You go to a clinic when you're not sick

so do hypochondriacs, makes me wonder

I have plenty of appeal, my mom says so lol

No excuses. My shoes are wiped down after every game, and scrubbed and shined after the last game before they go back in the motherlode.

10 is false and ridiculous as well. I hope that going to umpire kiddie ball at Cooperstown doesn't make someone an umpire, or I'm in big trouble.

10 is just the fact that the shirt was sold in Cooperstown. And believe it or not I have heard that umpiring in Cooperstown is a lot of fun.

You kind of have the logic backwards. If the statement is true that does not mean that not going to cooperstown means you are not an umpire (wow that was a lot of negatives)

This is way to complicated for me.

Maybe if you take out all the negatives my statement will really be logical . Going to CDP and "umpiring" baseball games doesn't make you an umpire any more than sitting in your garage makes you a car. The only reason it appears as a "You know you're an umpire when" on these T-shirts is because they were sold at Cooperstown.

I'm kinda impressed someone actually ventured in this niche market. How many tourneys do we call that sell tshirts? How many sell UMPIRE tshirts? The CDP shirt is corny and all, but they went out on that limb. Respect em for that.

I do respect their entrepreneurial spirit and marketing idea.
