[QUOTE=SanDiegoSteve]Are you going to "know when to quit?" It's hard to let go, believe me.
MLB umpires make a good living so perhaps umpires at that level "hang on" because of the money and prestige.
At Bruce's age where is going to go to earn the kind of money he is getting from MLB. Obviously I do not know Bruce's financial issues, but it could be one of the reasons he "hung around' for all these years.
As for me I am looking forward to the day when I can call it quits. Right now with kids still to support the money comes in mighty handy, however, one's life is basically umpiring especially in summer ball where I am umpiring 6/7 days a week with a minimum of a double dip every Friday night/ Sat / Sunday
Each person will have to answer that question at some point in their life and the reasons vary.
