Stepping on Plate
Ace is correct in his views. I started out in LL and right now i am paid almost year round to umpire games. When LL All-Stars rolls I volunteer some of my time returning to LL for what they try to do for boys and girls despite the parents.
This may also be the last year I volunteer as the quality of the higher ups in LL umpires really sucks.
They wear their patches proudly yet do not have a clue as to what they are doing. In a state game last night one member of the crew I am part of went into the visitors dugout during a rain delay and removed a dozen bats. I asked him why, as the equipment was already checked by my partner, HS official, and he said they were the wrong size. He pulled all but the 2 5/8 bats. I quickly let him know every bat he pulled was legal according to LL rules.
