"I have bad knees and worry that they will force me to quit umpiring sooner than I would like."
Most of the guys I played baseball with in the dead ball era turned to SP softball by their mid-20s, but one guy went directly into baseball umpiring, eventually doing mostly ECAC/NCAA games. Last fall, at age 60, he had both knees replaced. He says it was 35 years of up and down behind the plate. I don't know whether he expects to resume umpiring.
