Great post, BigUmp! Higher level umpires who take the time to do LL games (in all there generations - LL, Inc., travel, recreational) give the players such a good level of officiating and really make their LL time memorable.
I also hope HS umpires ARE viewed by how they look - proper dress, equipment, etc. Who can forget that to US, at 15, 16, 17 high school ball (our first matching uniform, sewn-on numbers, more than three fans) WAS our major leagues!
