I was at the game (I'll post more on that tomorrow). His little daughter was shown on the stadium screen holding a sign..."My daddy is the Umpire #124." She couldn't have been much older than 6 or 7. Pretty little thing!
I have a 5 year old. She'll never bring a sign like that to a high school game unless there were oodles of FBI agents like there was at ALLTEL last night.

I haven't had any signs in the stands yet, but my family does show up for 2 or 3 games a season, weather permitting... Nothing better for me than to have my 3 kids (7,5, and 3) come running up to me at half all looking for hugs, as I walk off to get some H2O and discuss the 1st half with the crew. Some might say that its not professional, but I think it calms the fans a little to remind them we are human too.
My 3 year old even said to me this a.m. that he wants to be a referee when he grows up!
And its 7 months to the season.
