I've seen quite a few of the guys you routinely work with call games at Eck Stadium, and to a man they are all excellent officials. In fact most are better than any I've seen work at the MiLb single A level here in South Bend. I figure you're guilty by association because you work so much with these guys. For that reason, I would work a game with you anywhere, anytime, and be a better umpire for it, I'm sure.

Thanks Tim for the kind words. I will say that although I work with a lot of the guys from the Big East, I am not in that conference yet. With all due respect, some of those guys you see at Notre Dame are ex minor league guys with a lot of NCAA years including College World Series credentials. I am not in their class however, hope to be in their "shadows" somewhere down the road.
I will also be in Gary,IN (Railcats) for three separte series throughout the summer. If you want to get together then, email me and maybe we can hook up. Since my games are at night time, I would be glad to come out and watch you work during the daytime if I'm not to far from you.
