There are times when paid umpires are forced upon a league as well because there are no others to fill the roles...
Year after year our local league pleads with parents and older siblings of players to considering upriring to support the league. The response most often heard... You ain't gettin me to put up with that crap for nothin...
So guess what... we end up having to pay for umps from the local board to get games covered...
Who wants to stand out on a field all day and be questioned about everything you do and not get compensated for it?? I for one happen to do it (for free) but if offered pay... you bet... Parents and coaches can be downright mean sometimes and feel that their little Johnies and Janies are the best thing to happen to baseball and how dare you call them out... the pitch was high...
You never hear the parents yell at the coach something like.. you should have never had him bunt... why did you have hime steal??? But every call the ump makes can be questioned....
