Just playing Tyler's Advocate here:

What if he started the signature with NCAA, and did not mention MiLB (the Holy Grail of all umpiring as we know it today)?

Would we want to verify exactly what percentage of D-1 games he has done? Is he a regular D-1, or just worked a few games?

How do we know he's a certified PONY umpire?

ASA indeed! Where's the proof?

Do some AMLU members who fill in for the big leaguers ever claim "major league experience" on their résumés? I would venture they do, even though they are still mere minor leaguers, just fill-ins. When Bob Davidson was demoted to AAA ball, didn't he still consider himself a major leaguer?

I'm just saying that Michael is listing the levels of baseball that he has worked, as he has stated. Now we can officially wrap up the case, as he is a poser no longer and it's merely part of his résumé.

And CO ump; it sounds more like you wanted to stir up something, since this thread was almost dead and gone when you responded. It was like so last week.
