Michael..Last time I called an umpire "Hey Mike" nine  "Mikes"  in the stands answered.    

Safer to call them all "Blue."     

Frank!

Proving once again, that umpiring isn't what it is cracked up to be.   TM

On a more serious note, when I did Kutno last year, our deputy chief umpire for the tournament, Jason, was bound to do the Midwest Regionals.  In fact, he did the plate for the championship game.

During the tournament, he arranged to have his team wear pink umpire shirts with the breast cancer awareness ribbon right below the Little League patch.

Jason umpired Little League with his aunt who--during the Regionals--was in the hospital with breast cancer.  His gesture was a tribute to his aunt, and ESPN made a very nice news story of it as they covered the Midwest Championship.

I'd wear a pink shirt, as some of the profits go to the Amercian Cancer Society.
