He immediately said yes !
I didn't say anything, but I thought to myself...HOLD ON THERE ! You are a HS Teacher, a member of the Teacher's Union, and you are going to cross a picket line to umpire a baseball game.
So, it looks like the MiLB's aren't going to get any support from brother union members. It sure looks like this is going to be the end of the MiLB system as we've known it.
Good Luck Guys...

Hmmm,
I think I would drop a note or call to the union rep ....
Spoke to several of the AMLU guys today. The fill-in's were by & large great humor (There is a great picture on Yahoo Sports). Players, coaching staff & most team staff support the union & hope MiLB settles soon.
