Oh, there's a lot a them believe me. And they always come out this time of the year for summer ball - the tournaments when there is a shortage of umpires and the assignors will give a game to anyone just to fill a slot.

And most of them aren't trying to get better - they already think that they are GREAT!

Thanks
