Pardon the flip response but I think a Volunteer Umpire is an Umpire that does not receive remuneration for games he/she officiates.

Facial or long hair? While I understand that some associations may have this policy I disagree with it. What the he!! does facial hair or long hair have to do with anything? And if I worked in MLB maybe I wouldn't CARE if I had to remove long or facial hair since I might feel well compensated for that.

When you refuse payments from those Leagues that you choose to 'help out', does your assignor still make his 10%-20% anyway?

On those days you are 'Volunteering', do you feel less about yourself?
