Thumbs up Rich is exactly right.

One of the reasons I do not work summer baseball, is because umpires are not treated with the same respect. We work the same amount of time, but we do not get paid for it. Why would I want to make $20 less than I do working during the HS season? Many times I am asked to travel just the same distance as well. I do not do this for the money, but it cost money for me to take time away from my job and gas it takes to drive to a site. Why would I want to do that and not be compensated for it? Then in many cases around here, you want me to work by myself, but not at the very least pay for all that work. More and more umpires are expected to work alone as well. That is just not right and not worth my time.

Peace
