I'm not an umpire who works professional baseball, but I am definitely a professional. I get paid to umpire, I look and act professionally, I dress sharply and professionally, and my mechanics, positioning, judgment, timing, and hustle are all professional. I am a professional umpire who works amateur baseball leagues. I am sure that most of the posters on this board look at it the same way. They take pride in a professional appearance.
Some of these umpires at Williamsport do look professional, and have done a fine job. We are just pointing out that the majority of them are not very professional looking, and are doing a less than professional job. And the mechanics being used are absolutely hysterical. We can't help but say something about it, when we see mechanics being used that we would be gigged on evaluations for using, not to mention scorned by our fellow umpires.

The truth is that nobody here wants to work the Little League World Series. They couldn't afford us for starters. Little League Baseball gets what it pays for.
