Mcrowder,
You're right, I was thrown right into this. When I first started it was just to help out with the bases and was usually with a very good home plate umpire who understood everything as you guys here do. One day I showed up to help out with the bases and NO ONE showed up to do the plate. So if I didn't do it - NO GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED. I did it. VERY NERVOUSLY.
The decisions I've made over the past year must have been pretty accurate, or they were all clueless as of the rules because I never had a argument with a player/coach/parent. Little league parents and some coaches are the worst. This is not to say that I haven't had any calls questioned or they didn't agree with me BUT I was confident that I made the right call. I know for a fact that I'm not worse then some of the other people that have been doing it. I'm just trying to get better.
Mike
