I think their decision is based on fact and therefore fine.

Tim C.,

If I'm reading DG's post correctly (it's possible that I am not), he is saying:

1. The rules that this league plays under require anyone who is "warming up" the catcher to wear a catcher's mask.

2. He has, on two occassions, insisted that the rule be complied with under his authority as umpire at the game - when the rule was being violated by a minor.

3. As a result of his proper enforcement of the rule, despite the league's "decision" that this is a rule and should be enforced, he has been "blackballed" from umpiring for this league.

Your comment seems to suggest that the league was somehow "proper" in blackballing DG.

I say Bull$hit!!!

My comment is that it is the league's, rather than DG's, loss.
