Speaking of lack of umpires, my son's middle school game had only one umpire last night. The guy had a terrible strike zone, but at least he was consistent with it all night. But I will say that every time a ball was put in play he popped out from behind the plate quickly and moved as far as he could and tried to get the proper angle on the play. Heck, on a ground ball to second base he made it out near the mound to make the call. He could have "phoned it in" from behind the plate all night but instead he hustled play after play in a less than ideal situation.
