Now that has been said, your points are well taken...but yes the "blocker" should have been tossed. The rest of the blather is just that. Good luck, from someone who got started doing this in 1973(and coached for 25 years inbetween umpiring stints)...you'll come under much more pressure than this board before your umpiring career is over. Stick it out, as for the critics here, tell then to just Stick It! Learn from your mistakes, but remember the guys here, for the most part, not all, are inflating their egos, by tearing you and others down. Those types have never made it past the Middle School/JV level.
This guy's projecting. This is a classic case!

The Shadow ... what a joke.

(That nickname came to him as he saw a shadow was being cast by the floodlight on the staircase leading down to his mother's basement.)
