I just want to ditto what Mike said. With no offense to anyone who limits themselves, i think your best bet is to work both games. IMHO..working slow pitch makes u a MUCH better base umpire. (more rotations, more calls,etc) I have seen lazy umpires in both games, so I would have to say that its the individual, and not the game. YES, it seems that there are more lazy Slow pitch umpires, but I think thats because of the lack of any standardization in local leagues... the local SP leagues just need bodies. The umpires who strive to do something other than the local beer ball are just as qualified as their FP counterparts.
