Just another example of someone who thinks that getting $25 for a 2 hour game equates to "$12.50 an hour". Never mind all the rest that goes into it.

The more you talk in this thread, the more I'm tempted to reach in my ball bag for a nice wedge of cheese to throw in your direction.
This guy got a free shirt from the Athletic Association and he was wearing tan dockers and white Nikes. He got $37.50 for the game and free food. He also rode his bike there so he must live pretty close by. Now, I think he had to buy his own cell phone and from the looks of it, I think it was an I-phone. Right there is a major expense in Umpire equipment.
