Nothing is ever perfect at a National and remember, we umpires are a NECESSARY EVIL to the coaches and players as well as the TDs. Live with it.

I just got back in ASA after several years out. This past week-end, my new local ASA UIC talked to me about my interest in a fast-pitch national next year. I just can't get into it.
"Live with it" implies I don't have a choice. My choice is live without it. I choose not to deal with this lack of respect and appreciation. I'll use my trunk as a dressing room for a double header. You need me for six-plus games a day... I'm not using a milk crate chair and drinking out of a sprinkler hose. I'm sure there are others that consider it worth it.
