I think someone is just re-enacting an old (is there any other kind?) Andy Griffin episode.

I'll play!

Either...

He's a relative or friend of a player who was attending the game and they had no umpire so, he was asked to work the game.

Or...

He was indeed the scheduled umpire but Poncherello's motor needed to have the exhaust bearings rotated and he needed a ride home after their shift and that made him late to the game so, he had no time to change out of his work uniform.

Or...

This field is in a BAD part of town...

Im gonna go with 

 

The parents at that field are so bad no umpire was willing to work the game.  A local sheriff happened to be in the lot and they asked him to do it.

 

My guess
