I hope these guys get what they deserve. The last time there was a contract renewal they actually lost $200. I already know guys in my area that are getting called to fill in and all of them have turned the teams down because they reconize that us as umpires are somewhat brothers in arms. We understand each other and what we do (for the most part) unlike players and the joe schmo down the street, they cannot possible comprehend that.
Minor or major league level blues always catch the sh!t end of the stick right wrong or indifferent. These guys are not asking for the world and some of them have said a few hundred a month more would be nice. College officials can make more in a month than these guys in a couple and they are calling lower level ball.
If I get a call, I am behind the blues and will not call even the AA team here in town.
