In the words of Mr. Rutledge, maybe you need to grow some sack.
My sack is just huge enough, thank you. Not that you should need to get personal with me to start with. Now you're just being flat-out disrespectful. To God, to me, to others who don't share your viewpoint on volunteering.

Just exactly what does not wanting to work a kiddie ball game for free have to do with having a sack, huh?

People just assume the umpires working these low level games are rooks to begin with, so they rag on the umpire. So what? That's a fact. I can deal with it just fine, I simply won't do it for free. Why should I take that kind of abuse for a hot dog and a sody pop?

Feel free to go build houses with James Earl Carter if that's what floats your boat, but quit trying to shove volunteerism down everyone's throat. It is not our civic duty to work for free.
