I'm happiest invisible.. but if I gotta make myself known, there I be. I dont think its the marker of a good umpire, because there are times when if you are invisible, you are not doing your job. I've also known some decent umpires who put on the "The Blue is here happy hour" .. essentially a show.. and some parents and coaches do like it.. just not my style (nor do I particularly appreciate that style).
