I would love to see more Umps like you take a stand against poor sportsmanship.
The Fast-pitch game at the 10U and 12U level has too many young players who are coached into bad attitudes and it shows on the fields. I see it every Saturday.

I took my 12U's to Forney, Texas last year and after beating a team who had an obvious grudge against me by a score of 8-1 the coaches would not come back out on the field for after-game handshakes. In fact about six their players came out on their own.

One Ump came up to me and said, "I hate to see kids taught that way".

Keep up the good work Blue.

Ya know, while it gets very serious sometimes and we have to be very professional at all times, it's still just a game.
