No, I am Stalin. You are a wimp. You obviously did not read or understand my posts. You cannot understand that the clinicians teach MLB and NCAA protocols that may have nothing to do with with umpiring youth baseball.

Your uncreative mind prevents you from stepping outside the box and recognizing that the dangers of umpiring in uncontrolled settings require different methods. You are the classic wannabe big dog. You mouth pabulum taught by the big dogs without applying critical thinking to what they teach. This big dog is not impressed. MLB umpires can ignore the fans because there are 100+ police and security personnel at every one of their games. They have their own private protected walkway to their locker room. Their parking lot is separated from the fans.

I do not deal "hostilely" with fans. I follow the Joseph Stalin model. From all accounts, Stalin was a charming man in person and took time out to play with his own and other children. He let others do the dirty work for him.
