I was sitting down the LF line with some other umpires. I said to my umpire friend who had stepped away that the ball bounced to the foul side. The problem was that the umpire called it fair. And four umpires and a 20-second conference for that pulled foot in the sixth? Ughhh....
What embarrassed me the most as an umpire who works mostly LL in the summer was the dancing, complete with wigs. You will not catch me dead doing anything like that. Just because we volunteer doesn't mean we can't act professional.
As for the field, it is part of Alpenrose Dairy, which has a long history of community involvement. The hosting district has played baseball and softball there for many decades and it is a natural site for a LL World Series.
