I'll tell ya what I am amazed just how many things there are to learn; and how to apply, as well. I know you, and many others, really love this game and that's why you take the time to help improve the officiating that goes on on thousands of fields. It really makes a difference that you guys may never get to see live, but if there are a lot of umpires like myself I can tell you the game is improved because of your sharing what you learned. Must hurry out the door... Thank you sir! ...Al

Hey! You can pay us if you want to. I believe the going rate that Mike used to charge on another umpiring BB was $.02. (Have we adjusted that considering inflation...etc.?)
