Part 1 Test for All Coaches???

[WindyCityBlue]

I ask you, which is more dangerous to the game...

a high school coach that doesn't know the rules and interps or the umpire who doesn't?

I recognize that there are many members that just LOVE doing freshman and sophomore baseball. Thank you for doing a job that would just kill me. Please understand where this comment comes from though:

Most underlevel coaches deserve the umpires they get.

I'm flattered, but I didn't make this up. It came from a speaker at a baseball clinic I attended many years ago. I'll never forget it.

Rather than view this as a put down, I embraced it as a challenge to get better and know more about the game than the guy making the line up card. It has served me well.
