about needing to have respect of the Alledged Adult Men's SP players? Who cares if some of thos A$$ Clowns respect you or not? He claims that in HIS league, only the lazy, stupid umpires get harassed. Give me a break!

Yes, many are whiners and criers, but I don't have a problem with them. I've worked all levels, save the Super, of ASA and must admit that I have become semi-spoiled. But then again, most of the umpires that get grief from the players, even locally, are more often than not those with that 3 foot rope from home plate tied to their ankle. Just as in the FP & MP game, hustle and professionalism are the most respected articles an umpire can use to control a game.
There is no doubt that you will still have some morons and idiots out there and the key to them is to deal only with the coach. If the coach is the problem, dump him/her and find someone else with which to deal.
Just don't let them get under your skin. Choose to work your game, not theirs.
