Never during a high school season have we had ANYONE assigned to get us drinks and handle balls. I feel you may be a little jaded.

You wrote, " . . . place them in the game ball box" again you being in the Big Time East Coast that box maybe somewhere other than the dugout . . . in my games that box is ALWAYS located in the home team dugout. Again we are inferior to your East Coast Guys.

Gee Peter, you don't think usinn' out here in the west have not read umpire war stories where umpires steal balls and trade them for taxi rides, dinner or sex.

Al Clark made a living of it . . . again we might have higher expectations of our umpires (non-union guys) and trust them to roll the balls to dugout or hand them to an assistant rat.

And I really apprecate being low level -- kinda ruins your issue that I am a "Big Dog", huh?

As always PO I enjoy reading your work.
