And I'm arrogant enough to note that even in my fourth plate, I'm still better than 90% of the people they get working their first plate.
If they want me to sit a game, they'll have to pay me for it. Otherwise, I'm sure there are other umpires willing to work. (Actually, I'm not so sure, because by the time I agree to do it, they're usually saying that there's nobody else -- could I please do it?).
With the exception of those 2-3 days a year when I whore myself out, I don't work anything but single games and doubleheaders.

It is nice to know that you don't care about your physical and mental condition at the end of the day, just so you can make a bucket load of money in one day.
