Not unless you started umpiring 100 years ago.... other than that, you likely learned the love of the game in baseball..
and that is exactly the type of stuff I was talking about in my post, btw.
Admit baseball is what got you started. Not rounders.. not some lame history lesson.
Virtually the only exception, IMO, would be a female who started with softball and never payed attention to baseball.. or a strange exception for an individual.. for most, we played baseball.. and now umpire.
Just admit it.
The highest level of umpire you can be is a MLB umpire.. plain and simple.
I'm no MLB umpire groupie who knows all the umpires names, numbers and underwear sizes like some of our bros up top there, but its fair to admit simple truth.
