Well gays/gals,
All I can say is, Brrrrrrrrrrr, it was in the 30's, wind chill
in 20's and the kids wearing shorts and sleveeless jerserys.
Never saw so many out of the park home runs. [200' fences].
That cold ball was jumping. The play was pretty good for this
early. Because of a shortage of umpires [probably sitting in front
of the TV
and fireplaces - SMART], had to work four straight
one off, four more. Left the fields at 12:15 A.M. Sunday
morning. Woke up to rain. They called off the remainder of
the tournament. I was scheduled for the 18U Championship game.
Had one interference, one obstruction and a batting out of order
call. Oh yes, I did get hit in the back of the head by a catcher.
Foul ball went to screen, I moved to 3rd base side of plate and
for some dumb reason, took my eye off her position and WHAM.
She apologized for the next 4 innings. Hell, it was really my
bad. Pool play $20 [1 pool game] at plate 60mins and drop, bracket
$23 1:15 min. get a winner. Most ended on time.
