I do appreciate those of you who submitted opinions as it related to my question. But some of the comments and opinions were harsh and frankly down right cruel. The fact that some of these kids put everything they have into the game of baseball and for someone to invalidate what they bring to the game is sad...Whether the player's age is 11 or 40 all they want is an umpire who is fair and consistent. The players at this level don't get paid, but they know the umpires do so give em' break.
have a great weekend and don't forget if you are officiating this weekend it's just a game to the players and they're out there for the thrill not the money.

Thank you so much for your penetrating insight. Yes, we're all just money grubbing whores, but now that you've been involved in the great game for, what, a couple of years, you're here to set us all straight.
You know, you shouldn't ask a question if you're not prepared to deal with the answers you're likely to get.
