Rant continues...
I called 25 ball games.
Mon 1 game
Tue 4 games
Wed 5 games - got off the field at 1:15 am
Thu 6 games - back on the filed at 9:00 AM, last game ended at 2:15 AM
Fri 6 - back on the filed at 9Am - but got a bonus - off the field at 11:45 PM
Sat 3 games 11 - 1 - 5
When I left the tournament there were only 9 of 111 teams left.
Sunday assignments: Politically Correct - that is all I will say.
Food: Courtesy of Dept of Corrections - but plenty of it.
Awards Banquet: Sat 6:45 AM at the Holiday Inn breakfast buffet
Pay: $20 per game (up from the $18 that was originally quoted)
Accomodations: 2 per room. I was on a roll-away all week. Room mate didn't mind, he had a king bed all week. The other hotel had a drug raid on Mon night. This chased away all the prostitutes, but the cockroaches didn't mind too much. Umpires got moved to a new location on Tue 30 miles away.
No pay, no rest, no respect.
This is a National Championship, not a Boot Camp.
Changes need to be made.
