My philosophy is really off the wall and unbelievable, hold onto your mask, I can't believe i'm even sharing this, well I realize i deserve the criticism of the elite of this forum, well geez I well here goes the philosphy of a lowly 7 and 8 yr old ump that can't even ump 80' ball. This is really hard here goes:
When i see a strike I call it phewww I did it. They say the first step in recovery is admitting your problem. Maybe if I stay on this formum for a couple years and learn from your most excellent advice I can get an assignment at the LL minors. Maybe if I go to the coaches and promise not to be contraversial, maybe then I could get to a bigger diamond.
I hope my confession helps younger umps that dream of doing 10 yr old travel. Please learn from my misguided and terrible philosophy.
I guess you prove that if you kiss enough behind you can work any level.
Lesson to all you young umps. Forget integrity, just be a brown noser.

Tim specifically said it catches the knee. He saw it. plain and simple.
now it's just a matter of having the courage of your conviction.
