Well then I am glad we play where we do, where we can teach our kids the meaning of good sportsmanship, and the umps actually hang around, and our kids can shake their hands as a sign of respect. We allow NO players to ever abuse the umps, so their handshakes at the end are not "making up" for anything. It is teaching them to acknowledge the job done by the Umpires. I will continue to teach them that, and I know in my area, the umps will hang around.
