Yeah I know. They have been brainwashed into thinking that they should work for free. With all the money that LL saves by not paying game fees, I would have thought they would have been able to afford fitted hats for the umpires.
Luke,

It's community service. If you don't want to work the games for free, don't. But don't act like the people who do are idiots.

I work a lot of paid games in a season -- college, HS, adult league, etc. I do LL for a different reason. Nobody locally gets rich doing LL -- all money that comes in goes back into the program.

So take your fitted hat and your superior attitude and, well, you know....
