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.

AMEN!!!!

Pretty freakin accurate.....regardless of what many of us want to admit!!!
