Unless Mr. Campagna should decide to respond.
Let me point out that I have enjoyed all the interaction I have had with everyone on this board over the last year. I have found your insight, knowledge, and expertise all extremely helpful. As I am still fairly new to being an umpire, it is my desire to be the best I can be. Let me be clear that I am NOT touting my own skills, as again, I am yet a rookie.
My desire is that when you see a volunteer that needs your assistance, you all would be willing to lend a hand and help that person do a better job. I will grant you that there are many who will not heed your advice, but many will. You may be surprised.
Volunteer organizations should have volunteer umpires as well. When everyone else is working without benefit of compensation, why should we pay only the umpires? Volunteer umpires are a necessary part of our baseball community. Please, if you are not volunteering when you can, please assist those that are, when you can.
Oh, Bfair, bad analogy. I'll let you know when my life depends on an umpire. Ummm....that would be, like, uhhh...
NEVER!
