Rich the aforementioned has me puzzled (what else is knew) somewhat

You had problems with this league in the past pushed for suspensions and messages to be sent where needed BUT

still decided to umpire for them even on a limited basis.

My question? why even umpire there in the first place even if your schedule permitted it knowing that you had problems with this league in the past?

By no means am I condoning the behavior of this team and you could have been seriously injured (Thank God you are not) and hopefully something will happen. (keep us posted if you can) but why subject yourself to a league that you had problems with in the first place even though on a limited basis?
