Pete,

Not everyone is cut out to be an umpire, so not just anyone can umpire. I have to agree with Garth on that point.

You said that anyone out of pro school could step right in to do the Yankees game. You must mean the Penobscot LL Yankees, because you certainly can't mean the New York Yankees.

I know lots of pro school grads that I would have a hard time putting on a Varsity HS game, much less anything close to a pro game. That's why PBUC only takes the top graduates out of every pro school class, and sends the rest home to terrorize the local diamonds with their new-found power trip.
