Did the first tournament of the season last week. Several new faces umpiring around the ball park. Some have had their hours cut and are looking to make some extra money. We've lost a few umpires, too, as they are working extra hours on the weekends in second jobs.
The most disturbing thing I saw this weekend was watching an older gentleman drag a rake around the infield all day. In the past, working on the grounds crew has been a job reserved for high school boys.
This economy is terrible.
