I heard that they would not be providing  sNiCkErS for the umpires either.  This could be adopted in all states.  :sTiR:

Did Bloomberg win the mayor's race in Portland?

That is the most idiotic school rule I have heard and I live in the Nanny State (California). I can understand not selling soda during the school day but at extracurricular activities. That's ridiculous. Hummus. Baked chips. Come on.

What's an umpire to do.
