I've been doing LL for years, and I don't agree with the suggestion by some that experienced, qualified umpires should do only upper levels of ball. That's like saying, "oh their just 12 year-olds, who gives a $hit." So umpires who thumb their nose at youth ball can get off their high horse in my opinion.

I work LL as a volunteer late in the summer, but I do not begrudge anyone who simply refuses to work lower levels of baseball. We all make choices in what we want to work. We should spend our time working exactly what we *want* to work -- nobody, IMO, owes any particular level any of their time.
