Overturning your partner (again)

[GarthB]

BTW, I've worked at least a dozen regular season LL games on my nights off from Legion, adult amateur, and semipro games. And I've seen many good umpires working those games as well -- many of them are my friends. But if you want to keep the stereotype alive, go for it.

Rich,

The stereotype is kept alive by virtue of the broadcast of the LLWS.

Seriously...I know you and your abilities. Tell me something. If guys like you and your friends, on occasion, take time to work LL, why don't we see that calibre of umpire at the LLWS? Why do we see the Smitty's and their free floating strike zones? Do we have the ol' "It's not what you know, it's who you bl..I mean know.
