Have any of you purchased the "Softball Umpires Manual" from the NCAA Publications catalog? I was just wondering if there was any info in there that makes it worth the $12.50 purchase price.
Scott: Buy it. It helps. You can learn the proper mechanic when in the "B" position instead of relying on "you know who", and there is lots of information in there that you need to know.
It would have been worth it for some of the umpires who are calling the WCWS. Especially the BU in the TN/AZ game. Sorry, but too many blown calls that were not that tough
Really, I was sitting there about 6 rows up behind home plate. I didn't see any calls blown. I also talked to several umps that were at their house to get their view on the call at home for the winning run. They ran it back several times on TIVO in slow motion and Willie got it right every time.
