dude - if you've seen a time-limited college game, I believe it may be the first (with the possible exception of Canadian curfews)

Thanks

David,

As one who has done, and still does, HS and college during the spring, yet almost exclusively does only small field ball during the summer, let me assure you it is not for the money. It is for the kids. Those who are in it only for the money are on the big field because the pay is better.

My two purposes in umpiring summer ball is to work with the younger umpires and reign in the out-of-control coaches. I find the game, once the coaches either understand their role in the game or are gone, a refreshing break from the attitudes found in the older kids.

This year, I worked a HS sectional in mid-May, then did not work another big field game until late June, and only worked them to get ready for the tournaments which started last week.

I get $20 or $25 per game depending on the league. That does not come out to much per hour, but I would not trade the joy of working with the young kids and beginning umpires for all of the $40 games in the world.

If you dont like that, here our varsity pays $46 (with no % due our assignor) and JV only pays $32 and Frosh $28. And we are the highest paying association in our state for varsity. (I have heard)

Oklahoma, least in the Tulsa area
Pre-k thru 5th grade rec ball 20-25
I think most of the other kids leagues pay anywhere from 20-30 a game
high school spring 50 single 90 for a DH
summer 75 for a DH
legion 80 for a DH (7 inning)
MABL/MSBL I think is 50
College is 80 and up.

Not true: my friends from Philly think Ohio is right out near Colorado, and they couldn't care less.

The phenomenon you describe is, I think, unique to PITTSBURGH and vicinity. It likely stems from an inferiority complex with respect to the Cleveland Indians. Who wouldn't envy having Chief Wahoo for their logo?

Yes, that would be a Western PA reaction.

We still have the Steelers, so we really could give a crap about the indians since they are in the AL and the buccos never play them.

Browns on the other hand.....
