I know that I got out of umpiring for a while and now I'm going back to it. I love the game and just couldn't stay away anymore. I'm hoping next year to maybe pick up Fast Pitch, came from a state with almost no fast pitch. I'm getting a late start this year and the rules have changed in the past six years. That is the fun of umpiring though, knowing the rules and applying them correctly and quickly. If we could recruit more young umpires and train them properly, eventually those who were not so good would either not get any good games, get better so as not to get shown up, or quit. At least thats my opinion.
