Times are tough, and what was once a fun hobby, has turned into a supplimental paycheck. Plus, umpires are still in demand, so assigners can't be that picky any more.
I go and watch local HS games, and am shocked how bad some of these guys are. Raw rookies working Freshman games solo. Guys that I wouldn't put on a LL minors game. It's a shame, but really, who's availible at 3pm on a Tuesday? The retired and unemployed.
