Definition of a beer league according to Webster is a league where drinking at the bar before the game happens. The cooler is brought to the bench. Totally trashed player somehow find there bat & glove & attempt to play what they remember was softball. They start arguing with their own teammates manager (if one shows up) and then they start arguing with the other team. Eventually I take off my blue shirt & put on my stripes because now I'm a refereee no longer umping a game..I'm working a 7 inning fight.

Your are correct that we all take an oath to umpire a softball game..not this garbage.

I am happy that you have never been stuck with a game you didn't want to work. Let me know next time your in Baltimore & I'll take you to leagues that cannot find sanctioned umpires for the above reasons
