Calling All Umpires!

[Indigo.Plume]

Hello All,

I'm new to the community and just wanted to say hi. Currently, I'm working on a special project that requires a ton of research on the lives of baseball umpire crews. My original plan was to lurk and gather information from archived discussion threads, but I decided to go with a more interactive approach instead.

Anyone willing to talk to me, please don't be shy!

I am open to questions about my project, information about anything that has to do with officiating the great sport of baseball, questions about me (I know, I'm the new guy, lol), suggestions on further independent research, and general well wishes.

I am willing to communicate via email, phone, Skype, and this forum.

Thanks in advance!
I'm really hoping to read some interesting stories and get to know a few great umpires.
