Bawldguy,

As I was writing this post, I just knew that you would have a story of your own to share.

I knew a baseball ump who was working a double-header during a Virginia summer. Two-man crew, and he had the bases for game one. Game ends, they go back to change, and he realizes he has locked the keys inside the locker room, along with all of his plate gear for game two.

He had to wear his partner’s sweaty gear for game two, and learned a valuable lesson in the process. . .

Officiating teaches me something new every season.

Daniel – Great posting. With all that is going on in today’s market many have lost sight of what has worked for them all along. Sometime we have to take a step back and remember the routine we once had. As I have stepped back into some familiar shoes at my office I have seen that I had forgetten what I could be doing to help the office and the company as a whole. I have brought back my old routine and it has made a great difference. Thanks for reminding me to retrace my steps.

Hey Daniel — You brought back an almost forgotten baseball umpiring story, similar to yours.

I was doing 1st base in a Div I game between a local university and one of their main rivals. I noticed in the first inning the plate umpire didn’t look like he usually did when he got into position to call a pitch. That’s when I saw what was wrong.

Just as he lowered himself into position, he very carefully (and sneakily I might add) placed his left hand over his, uh, well, you know. I jogged in to ask him the obvious question after the third out was made. Yep, he’d forgotten his cup — not a good thing when 90+ mph baseballs keep comin’ your way.

Talk about embarrassing. Fortunately the home team’s head coach figured out what the deal was, and offered him a brand new cup — “No charge” he laughed.

Needless to say, my buddy gratefully accepted the offer. The players kept mentioning it all through the game.

Come prepared.

Wow Daniel – I have to tell you that the analogy is good, but the message is even better. I especially think that with social media, we get so focused on certain aspects that many times we forget why we’re doing what we’re doing to begin with.

As for the shoes…anyone that knows me KNOWS that shoes are da’bomb (although you will find me barefoot at home 90% of the time)
