BTW - Have you met an umpire from the U.P. that everyone calls "Santa." I met him at a regional last Summer and he's a great guy.

Yes, Tim, the District Administrator certainly does have to give blessings to a potential Regional umpire, but the clinic eliminates the *sight unseen* description.
That Yooper Umpire you met was probably Dennis *Claus* Swanson who just happened to have been an old roomie of mine at a Little League State Softball tournament about 3 years ago. Did he have "Pins, Pins, Pins" ? He's crazy for 'em. Jolly elf, a nice man and no hat under his mask.
