PINE BLUFF, Ark. — Summer has begun, and along with summer, come sports such as baseball and softball. It also means that summer has not only brought back fun and games, but it has also brought along the heat. For those summer games to happen, the umpire is a crucial member of the team. Umpires are normally dressed in a lot of gear and they spend hours under the sun. During a typical game, they wear more than eight pounds of gear and when you factor in the dangerous heat, it can become uncomfortable.
