John, I firmly believe that you have to have a healthy ego to umpire. Softball/baseball it really doesn't matter. Check your ego at the door if you must.

I have worked with many good umpires doing both softball and baseball, don't get me wrong. Rules must be enforced and we can't choose to enforce only the ones we agree with. My quarrel is when the enforcement of rules takes away from the enjoyment of the game.
