It is not about the money for all of us. I know I am not going to work a one man game on purpose. The fact that many work those kinds of games is the reason you do not get many baseball umpires in my area based on my personal opinion. Of course there are people that will disagree with my point of view and that is fine with me. I am not going to waste my time trying to take time off from my day job to chase some money that I can make not working a baseball game. To each his own and everyone has the right to do what works for them. I just know when I started outside of the Chicago area those games were all 2 Person games. I am not going to work something that is basically impossible to try to make a little extra money. Maybe this is why in our state we have umpires that only get a HS license so they can qualify to work games in their local Little League and make more money working multiple games from the spring to the summer. I guess whatever floats your boat.

Peace
