I think you should be paid. I was hoping to retire after my first year of Dixie League, but I guess I'll have to go at least another one! Why should umpires be paid? We perform a service which requires us an outlay of cash, uniforms, equipment, clinic costs, etc. It is not a way to get rich for sure, but expenses should be covered. I am speaking of local rec dept, ball is paid for by taxes, and players only pay $35.00 a season, (waived if not affordable). Would I donate my time? I have for several years.
