Talking It Official.....not only are Umpires not blind..
....umpiring actually HELPS your eyesight! Haven't had a new lens prescription for a while, so I went for an exam, cause I need new glasses. Anyways, my prescription for distance part of my eyesight(yes I have progressive lenses) actually IMPROVED a small bit over my last time!! Considering I am fiftymumble, that is actually astounding! The D.O. said that the quick focusing/refocusing at the distance part of the eyesight actually strengthens those muscles a little bit....

so ANOTHER good reason to ump....

Has this happened to anybody else??
