[QUOTE="The Prowler, post: 348575, member: 1301"] So that is the definition of Umpire-in-Chief for a baseball game. In MLB, they actually use a "crew chief" who will take charge of the umpires in discussions, etc.. So each crew of four umpires will have a crew chief who is usually the same guy in that crew for the whole year. He will be at any given position for each game (they rotate positions). So I am Umpire-in-Chief for baseball games when I am the Plate Umpire. But I am talking about a different use of the term "Umpire-in-Chief". It might be better called a "Head Umpire" or "Leader of Umpires". Basically I was responsible for a group of about 100 umpires; to provide guidance and training; to advocate for them if there were issues that expanded past something on the field; to supervise them; to communicate league or association issues to them; etc. You can see on this Web page the use of "Umpire-in-Chief" that I meant, where the Umpire-in-Chief is a member of the Executive: [URL]http://www.scarboroughbaseball.com/contact[/URL] Or this page if you click on "About Us": [URL]http://www.brantfordbaseball.ca/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
