From the early 90's (and Billy I mean 1990' not 1890's,
) until the the early 00's (2000's that is not 1900's Billy,
), between CYO, Jr. H.S., H.S. (FR, JV, VAR), college (jr., JV, and VAR), spring tournaments (AAU and YBOA), summer leagues, and AAU and YBOA (national tournaments) I would officiate anywhere from 400 to 450 games. I am now 57.
I have cut that down to about 150 games a year now, because Mark, Jr. started H.S. in 2004 and his now a FR in college and Andy is now a SO in H.S. I wanted to watch them play baseball in the summer and watch them swim during the fall and winter. I think that once Andy graduates from H.S. Also I have not taken games so that I could watch MTD, Jr. officiate and I have umpired more baseball and fastpitch in the summer the last few years and cut way back on my summer basketball schedule because of Mark and Andy's baseball games. But, I intend to pick up the pace of my schedule again after Andy graduates from H.S.
