Either that or bring some in from Oklahoma. These guys think they are more important than the kids playing the game. They are not needed.

Called in TX up til 1990 and that is how we did it. The coaches got to pick one umpire to work the series and then the other two were assigned by the state association.
But, that was a long time ago and you made big money in the playoffs then so it was an honor to work. We got paid fees, plus travel, and then a % of the gate. Was great to work a game and get paid 300+ per game etc.,
Hello, there might be a reason they didn't pick your association to work the playoffs ...
thanks
