Huh... I don't recall any mention in the ORIGINAL POSTERS message where he stated that the person he worked with got any of the calls wrong or mis applied any rules, just that he stepped on somebody's ego.

So what you are saying is that it is more important how the umpires look and that they don't step on any big dogs toes that it is for the kids to have fun. How many of these LL players go on to play a highr level anyway? I know from our league we are lucky if 1 or 2 from each year continue on to play at a higher level.

Why didn't you address any of my other points garth, like having a volunteer spirit and using your knowledge and expertise to help your youth leagues.

I do High School basketball and guess what... Every Saturday and Sunday during basketball season, I go and run the floor with the 4th and 5th grade rec players in our town for free so that they can have their games.
