Wow how things have changed. When I lived and worked in FWorth it was probably the best group of umpires in the north part of the state.
Most of the guys who worked HS also worked college and it was incredible baseball especially in the summer when all the college guys returned to play and improve their games.
You either had to be good or you didn't get to call the games - everyone else was left to call the pony and colt league games.
Of course that was 20 years ago, but still sad to see.
Thanks
