You, sir, are no umpire, and you certainly could never hack it if you ever became one.

Please tell me when ive ever pissed and moaned about a rules question answer when "it's not the one I want"???
And just a FYI, I ump (2nd year) for a local league that doesnt use "certified" ASA umps, and by everyones (players, coaches, league directors, other umps) am the best ump in the league (>200 teams across A-B-C-D levels). Quick anecdote, I play in this league as well and the commish doesnt have players ump the same level as they play in for conflict of interest reasons, but after my team was knocked out of the 1st round of the playoffs, a few of the remaining captains requested that I do their remaining playoff games bc they thought so highly of me (compared to the other umps) (and they know of my umping bc many play in more than 1 level)
I find umping is actually really easy, except in the rare instances when I have to watch 4 things at once.
