Thanks all for your responses!
I dont feel "aw come on blue" etc is an attack.. I could tolerate a 100 of those before I tolerate "crappy umpire" .. first off it's not true - I work hard to know the rules and try to ump a good game... and 2nd of all.. I got a line. That was it. Not to mention I did not like being degraded by a coach in a dugout full of kids. I feel much better knowing some may have done the same rather than feeling like I am some rogue ump on a mission; which I am not.
Anyway, I did 3 14U games today and they went great. Interestingly, I did have a parent say "Are you the ump who tosses parents if they say anything"..
jeez. 1 coach and the word spreads thats not even close to the truth. Well there were no probs at all. I did take a few good hits and i'm pretty much exhausted but thats why they pay me the "big bucks" I guess.
Was great fun. glad to be working the "upper level" rec ball. Good teams, good pitching, good coaching today.
Thanks again for the replies.
