An important thing to remember about LL Umpires is that they do it strictly for the kids,plain and simple.The "game fee" for all levels from league play to the world series remains the same,a hot dog and a soda.LL umps should be commended for their dedication to the kids.When my son played LL baseball a few years ago,I volunteered my time as an umpire.I eventually became the UIC for a 700+ kids program here in Reading,PA.I bought my own equipment,spent hours scheduling volunteer umpires,and even umpired in the District Tournament,still for the "game fee" of a soda and a hot dog.LL umpiring gave me my beginning to the advocation I now enjoy.LL umpires should be applauded for their dedication to the kids.I think they did a great job on the games I saw on TV.
