I am sure you have your strike zone too.

Beauty of it is this...I am not, nor will I ever be a professional umpire. That dream died when I enlisted in the military. However, I have recieved nothing but high praise in any state I have worked from coaches, partners and evaluators. Until one of you clowns is any of those 3, I could care less your personal opinion of how I officiate.
Come back in a few days when you'll be able to post again -- hopefully, without calling other posters names.

BTW, I carefully read through this thread and the other thread. Not one poster called you a name or got personal with you as far as I could tell.
