My letter said I was an alternate... but a baseball coach I have done games with told me to look at
http://www.ihsbca.org and to look at their forum. It named off a couple of umpires (me being one) and asked why those umpires didn't get an assignment, being that he thought we were "better than 15 or 20" that he knew that DID get an assignment. I just tried to look for the post so I could link you to it, but they post on that forum so much evidently, that the post I am referring to is already gone. But still, a compliment. But hey, there is always next year. Big game for me today - Providence/Floyd Central.
Talk to you later.
