Last Saturday, opening day for us . . . . T-Ball teams appear first and as they run out to line up for the flag salute I see their manager and his daughter -...
Here's one from just last year in our State Big League tournament that our district hosted. In probably the third or fourth inning of a game, the manager of...
Hey new guy, I didn't realize you were new when I made my comment about the hot dog. While you have a lot to learn, you just may have skin thick enough for...
Skin???? Thick SKIN??? They told me it had to be a thick head and I was over-qualified! J From: llumpires@yahoogroups.com [mailto:llumpires@yahoogroups.com]...
It's a pet peeve of mine and, frankly, why I get annoyed when people say that umpires are no different than the people who run the concession stand. What other...
Why are the shirts such a big issue? Just have them play ball, and they can call region after the game is over. Let the kids play, and not waist time with...
We'd be happy to do so. One little bitty problem - not everyone is into computer stuff. It makes it pretty hard for some (and we have a couple) to take...
This will be my seventh year umpiring for LL, and I don't mind too much. It would be nice though. There should be a site where leagues that are looking for...
A protest in the state tournament goes to the region. No choice. I gotta say, though, that the manager playing these games would have an unusually short leash...
I was a ballfield rat, hanging out at the local park (we didn't have LL, but a town rec program). I kept score for the games I wasn't playing and was an...
Point, I haven't umpired a state competition before, so... But thanks for mentioning it. Adam OR D2 ________________________________ From: Rich Fronheiser...

I started umpiring when my oldest son was in minor B. Like a lot of umpires, I was one of the "dad from the stands" umpires. I think a lot of us start from ...
I realize not all leagues operate as we do but: I've paid to atttend many a coaching clinic. I could have been reinbursed but chose not to ask. I paid to...
I was watching my kid's game (Minors) and the umpire was not very good - every time a pitch came in he would take two steps backward. So I asked if they needed...
I'm sure I mentioned this on the list before: We were at Williamsport in 2007 watching my buddy work the WS. It was pouring down rain and we were heading back...
Is there a way currently, (blog site, website, group, ect) for leagues that are trying to find umpires to find them? If not one should create one. If there...
In the mid 90's I umpired one season for the local league. I was paid $15/game and loved it. I was always a baseball fan and since my career ended after high...

When my kid was 11, some 14 years ago, the teams needed a base umpire. I gladly volunteered because I was really tired of sitting in the stands listening to...
Supposedly, that was to be one of the purposes of the LL Umpire Registry, but it never came to futrition. Umpires are normally found by asking parents to be...
Did adult rec league softball for $$ in 1975 and 1976. Then got married and when our first son was in minors & the ump didn't show up . . . . . . Also, like...
Originally started out of high school, umpired a few years during college and then stopped. After 20+ years, I got back into it about 5 years ago when the paid...
