And LilLeaguer, its not that stong of a trend. Just beause you do ASA, high school, college, or what ever level, does NOT make you a better umpire. Some people like to think that, but it is not true.

1. I did not mock LL umpires. I tried to make the point that if you love doing LL then you owe it to yourself and LL to become the best umpire you can.

2. My experience is that if one is good enough to do something, they usually do. Coulda woulda shoulda is meaningless.

3. No one will become the best umpire they can be by working nothing but LL. That's a fact.

4. Like it or not, experience will make one a better umpire.
