Legal Substitution
"Where do you work for $70 for a 9 inning ball game?"
I said I do and that is enuf. Anything less, and you're working the plate.
Those who work local leagues know where the bread is buttered. Pay is split in half so I pick up the select crumbs (bases) whenever possible. I also take some games by myself (fee and a half, or both).
I consider myself a FREE-lance replacement and a fill-in for umpires who trust me as a qualified substitute and want me there. REAL umpires (6 days a week) may take off while I get their plate job. I expect the game fee and more ($10 ICE COLD, away from campus).
