The whole thing is attitude, an attitude of respect for the game, players and your fellow blues.
You attitude is one reason the Player Reps and other council members see umpires as a only slightly necessary evil presence in the ball games.
You Jimmy P are one of the reasons that umpires such as Mike are ignored at the National Council meetings when there is a change that is needed.
Thanks for nothing, and while you are at it.........
give those game fees back to the little ole church league you work
THAT IS A CUSTOM, TRIED AND TRUE, AROUND HERE.

I hope you get another 25 years. Umpiring is enjoyable, although I must say I run into more arguments and rude behavior on here than I ever do on the field.
