Funny thing is.....

He thought my name was Mike when in fact it is something else.
It's no wonder I wasn't selected to work any of his sectional games this past season!

It feels good to be respected as an umpire, but not so much when the coach cannot remember your name.
Around here, the local association provides photos with the names of each umpire qualified for post-season play so there are no mistakes like that.

Sometimes, it is a good thing. Sometimes, not.
