Tim.

Tim,

Yes I do belong to the LL D13 Umpire Assoc. I have copys of the bylaws, and get emailed our news letters, go to the meetings, and pay $15 dues each season. The bylaws were changed before i came along to allow anyone to join. for instance, there is a 16 Yr. old girls who regularly umpires, and yes shes in uniform..daaadeeedaa..and all that. But i think you guys over react to such a minor thing. To explain my thoughts on wristbands....they do help with sweat. but anyhow, i still dont get the whole ball bag issue. our district hats are black(not navy). No one really gives a $hit which of the three colors you are using. all go well with what color. MiLB- sure they are professionals, but still wear BLACK. Now, can we please move on with our life?
