As for the treatment we get as umpires, that will get better from players and coaches as your skills and appearnce improve - comes with having a "command presence" and getting better game management skills. And you'll find that shutting out what the fans say gets to be pretty easy.

Thanks Steve for the info on the caps... I hadn't seen them before and thought I might have been missing out on something.... I fought that mask/cap issue all season last year... I hope before the end of this season I'll have resolved the problem or at least fine tuned it a bit.
Last season, several of the softball coaches had known me from basketball and knew I was a first season wannabe... They were very helpful and kind... I'm expecting a little tougher season this year, since I "know" that they "know" that they have suckered me in for a second time...
"Command Presence" eh??? Are you saying that maybe I should leave the white cane in my car before entering the field?
I'm looking forward to some more good info on this forum. Have a good season all....
