Long night

Interesting. Back in the early 90's when I was a Babe Ruth District Commissioner, State Bambino games (name changed to Cal Ripken now), were highly coveted, and these games were not handed out to just anyone. Someone who had not worked a lot of this age group would not get these games to do, and anyone who was selected would gladly travel 90 minutes, or for that matter, travel half a day and stay in motels for 4-5 days, for what will be some really good small diamond ball. I can't imagine someone who works small diamond turning down these games because of 90 minute travel time, at least not around here anyway.

These games were not assigned by a local assignor, but by a state umpire in chief assigned by the state commissioner.
