Rich;

The competition among umpires is fierce. I doubt that I would have become a serious umpire if I had known in advance of the Machiavellian politics necessary to get to the top. I still have trouble believing that I spent the time to do what I did, just to umpire good baseball. In any other part of the country, I could have accomplished what I did with half the effort. DC has an extremely competitive mindset.

For Gee; The umpire that I metioned had four or five years experience. He had no excuse for not knowing the rules.
