Unfortunately for you guys, the MiLB teams are more than willing to hire local umpires to take your place. Many have already been called. And those guys will do a good enough job that the AMLU umpires will likely not be missed. Or the owners will play a waiting game until the umpires come back on their terms.

Rich,
Did you get one of those calls?
My son attended a similar game in your area and had a tremndously enjoyable experience with the banter and overall atmosphere.
Your local High School tennis coach used to be my neighbor.

Which town/village? Drop me an email. I've been asked to fill in previously, but not this time, no. I did work a HS basketball game with the GM of an affiliated team and he has my card (mainly as a basketball contact), so we'll see. Not sure I'd do it, though. Doesn't pay very well, considering the ball you'd have to work and the distance from my house
