Hi Herb, I bought one before this season and I love it. Good visibility and it has a low profile. The bars are vinyl coated. I have some scuffs but no...

Didn't check last night during the Twins/Yankees game, but I was wondering if any of you were in the chat room. If you plan on being for future playoff/World...
I agreed to work at a college showcase tournament this weekend. The assignor is a freelancer, and there are 84 teams. I told her that I am not an ASA...
Mike, I don't do softball anymore but here is a link to a word document about rules differences that might help. http://www.nvfpsua.org/rules.htm From The...
Hi Mike, Good luck with your games. The main difference is with pitching. Pitchers must start with both feet on the pitcher's plate. Their Obstruction Rule...
Group, One of our local PONY leagues has asked me to help them review their pay scales for umpires for the 2005 season. They would like some idea what other ...
Dallas BBI - $45 for 15-16 and 17-18. The USSSA league I worked last year rated their umpires and paid the lesser experienced ones less, around $20/game, and...
Brad, In our area the going rate (FED certified; 2 adult umpires; 90' bases; 13 and up ONLY) is somewhere around: Babe Ruth: $25 bases; $35 plate (same night;...
Local Pony league in Katy, Tx. pays: 5-6yrs - No umpire 7-8yrs - $25 - one umpire - 1:15 game limit, no new inning 9-10yrs - $30 - two umpires - 1:20 game...
These games are amazing! Just thinking about the number of pitches these PU's are having to call and the import of each pitch in extra innings of an ...
Hey Mark, Being from the Boston area and an avid Red Sox fan, I can only say what we have been saying, "We Still Believe" Keep the Faith (is this year's motto,...
Oddly, until the 9th inning of Sunday's game, I thought it was terrible. Probably the longest 4-3 game in history; nothing but weak grounders and pop-ups;...
I'm no Yankee fan, but I think your reaction is a little over the top. A-Rod's action was not malicious; it was simply interference, and was penalized...
... I like to believe that I would feel this way even if the uniform had "Dodgers" on it. ... Malicious in the sense of causing physical injury to another...
... Rodriguez: "Maybe looking back, I should have just run him over," he said. Sox first baseman Kevin Millar, who was out of the game at the time, called ...

Speaking of Sox first basemen ... we almost had simultaneous interference (on A-rod) and obstruction (on F3) on that play. That would've been fun to sort ...
It's ironic that MLB puts 6 umpires on the field in the playoffs for exactly this reason: to make the tough call on balls against the outfield wall. And they...
Working an OF foul line is tougher than it looks. First, you have to stay awake. Then, you have to be ready to rule on something from an angle you see maybe ...
Yup, ball at the wall call. Your bust out in case you have a trouble ball in clase you have to rule catch no catch and you have NO angle w/ good depth ...
