You do have a good point. It would be nice to have the stuff provided.

It's a pet peeve of mine and, frankly, why I get annoyed when people
say that umpires are no different than the people who run the
concession stand.

What other volunteers need to buy uniforms, pay to attend training,
and then LL comes along as says "for $25 you can access the rule
online."? What a crock, frankly.

If I wasn't a paid umpire for HS/College and didn't already have all
the uniforms and stuff ready to work, I wouldn't be a LL umpire. I
have never paid for a shirt with a LL patch on it, for instance. I
have some, but they were all given to me and those are the only ones I
have.
