Umpire Ben Weber, a member of the 2002 world champion Anaheim Angels, watches a Pasadena 13s pitcher deliver to the plate during action at Henry Field Saturday morning. Weber helped the Angels win 99 games during the 2002 regular season with some strong work out of the bullpen. He then made four appearances in the World Series as the Angels topped San Francisco for the title.

Locations for PONY Tournaments
If you are chosen to work any of the Houston Area PONY National Play Tournaments here are some reminders:
Make sure you and your partner show up at least 45 minutes prior to the start of the game. When you get to the field, contact the PONY tournament director.
Some locations provide a dressing area for umpires, so check with the press box area or tournament director before dressing out.
DO NOT Forget your pre-game with your partner while dressing out. Use this time to go over rotations, signals, responsibilities, etc. Make sure you are prepared to work as a team!
Be sure to alternate your plate assignments (no back-to-back plates if possible).
Your uniform should be wrinkle free and neat in apperance. The Major League Polo Blue shirt is our default color, but you are allowed to wear any approved color shirt as long as ALL umpires on the field are wearing the same color. Our association DOES NOT wear the Navy or Powder Blue (with Powder Blue Collar) color shirts. Umpire pants should only be "Heather Grey" (No Charcoal Grey Pants allowed), Ball Bags should be black in color with no markings on the outside, and all undershirts should be white (no exceptions).
