Rich:
I have met you, you watched me work and we have had a few (err, many) adult beverages together.
You know that I respect you greatly.
All being said, I have been the critic of Little League Baseball from day one on this board.
I find the LLWS as one of the worst explotations of children EVER. I hate the "Worldwide Leader" as a general statement and find no redeeming social value of what they do with the LLWS.
Again, all that being said: People that give away a skill set to an association that makes HUGE money (or soccer moms that buy $300 bats) are doing a tremendous disservice to umpiring.
When a guy named Hoy comes on here and tries to take umpires to task for simply saying the truth it ruffles my hackle.
Having worked games with over 50,000 screaming fans in attendance really changed nothing when I worked a game.
