I started out calling Little League baseball and some of the umpires were also FB officials and they asked me to try. I did both for seven years but when my son was born, my wife told me to pick one sport and live with it. Since I found myself beginning to hate baseball about district tournament time and hate the fact that football season was over, I stuck with FB.

This season will be interesting as my mother, who was our "on-demand" sitter, recently passed away. I'm also planning a HS class reunion which may knock me out of a Friday nite game. I'm getting the feeling that I might miss some games this year.
