This was a very special occasion. Our game fees are going to a memorial scholarship for a heckuva umpire and even better man.
Because it was a special occasion we had more than munchies. Lotsa hot dogs. A parent got wind of what we were doing and brought 10 pounds of freshly made bratwurst. There were ribs. I had last game of the night, so I got the charcoal burnt end of something that was allegedly a rib and figured it was probably all I deserved for being an over the hill half-assed umpire...but I heard some of the rest of the ribs were very good, and the good ribs went to the good umpires and to some very hard-working evaluators who also donated their day to help those who wanted to become better umpires become better umpires.
(They were umpire evaluators, not umpire validators.)
