With your obsession with calling those we don't know "old guard" and "old dogs", I can only assume that you are as guilty as the next guy....given the chance. This is the talk of somebody who is left out because nobody likes you in your association. Every association has a guy like you.

MSLB pays around $60 a game, plus mileage here. Many of the best umps don't want to work it because it is either crappy ball, or the attitudes stink bad. I myself limit the amount of these guys I will do. I don't mind the NABA 18 and older wood bat league, and the NABA 40 and over wood bat league is better now that they use wood bats. But the 28 and older leagues of MSBL and NABA are metal bats, and usually full of all the wrong attitudes. I would rather do games for the new Latino League that started. At least there, I don't understand that they are *****ing about nothing.
