    I liked this segment a lot. I was wondering what the responsibility of the different umps are on the road ? Ie does the most rookie ump have to book flights, rental cars, pack bags, restaurant reservations for the more senior umps ? What is the role of the crew chief on the road (ie A mentor, deals with reporters, makes sure everyone is on time ? etc)

    Thanks, Jubes McGee

    That was neat. I didn’t know they put some ground rules on the back of the home teams card.

    @John Behrend The umps rotate clockwise. After a plate game, you work at 3rd base. 3rd base is generally quiet, and its sort of like a break after working the plate.

    Umpire rotation system that is used. where does the plate umpire move to next after he has called a game behind the plate. Do you use a counter clockwise or clock wise system.
