There is an add on TV, can't remember for what, but it shows a women umpire using the Raft.

She doesn't stand with her feet next to each other and bend/squat, she places one foot well behind the other and then bends down.

My friends and I swear this is a dude we know from around here.

1) I wouldn't expect any commercial to be accurate in depicting any profession -- umpire, doctor, dentist, police officer, sanitation engineer, teacher, etc.

2) You can use the raft and the scissors at the same time.

It's called the scissors stance.

I know, I was just describing it since it's different than the previous photo.  I was a bit surprised when I first saw it because of the balloon, not the stance.

To hitchhike on this OP, I did have one game where the manager was under the influence.  He seemed fine at the plate conference, but during the game, he had the unmistakable odor of beer on his breath.  My partner and I surveilled the dugout and didn't see how he did it.  But I was a retired USAF Squadron Commander, and my partner (a highly experience LLWS Umpire) was a retired State Highway Patrol officer.  So we both had a clue on what to watch for.  We gave it to the BOD.

Beer Gum!

Caught a manager with it a couple of years ago.  I think each stick is like one ounce of beer.

Obviously something going on, whether it be a health or substance issue. What breaks my heart is that this video only exists for its shock value, and is still posted for all to see. Clearly an embarassing moment for the individual in the video. Hopefully he has sought and received help for whatever it may be, but whoever posted this on YT probably needs to do some self evaluating as well.

Couldn't agree more... it speaks volumes about the state of what's perceived as right and wrong today.  Can I make a buck off it?  Then it must be okay!
