Thanks, folks for all of your thoughts and opinions. Just about everything that you all said is something I thought about over the weekend.

Tony - it sounds as if you were part of a bad situation and I can certainly see how that could happen. I do appreciate you sharing your opinions.

I talked to the board president about the job. It seems that the board of our association is so unhappy about the job the previous assignor did, that they are planning to totally revamp the system. The board wants significant input as to who gets what games and the levels that each umpire is qualified to work.

I put my name in the hat as someone interested...we'll see what happens!
