What was your first game like?

on a side note, during a 9-10 baseball tourney, we were short on umpires for allstars, so the assigner had a coach that wanted to do it (he wasnt involved with any of the teams, so it was all good). So for all stars it was funny umpiring with someone who during the season i had to throw out (and yes, he was in uniform.)

John:

Our resident barrister has hit on a key point that will help you to avoid struggling with your strike zone in the later innings of a game. It's a very common mistake for a new umpire to fail to lock in properly from the first pitch of the game to the last. As the game wears on and you're not locking in well, your head begins to drop. This makes it extremely difficult to call the zone with any consistency. Normally, timing will be consistent throughout the game, whether good or bad, but a proper stance in the slot with a sound lock in mechanism is a must for a good plate man. Tell your son to bring a glove on the 4th and we'll try to get out on a field with my son and I'll show you what I mean.


Tim.

John,

Better yet, wait until the 24th and know that you're learning it correctly and from the best.

I'm certainly not the best, but I have a good idea I'll teach him correctly, Garth.

I admitted (by the use of: (sp?) ) that I did not know how to spell his name off the top of my head and that I did not care to look it up.

However, if I was going to attempt to correct someone (especially with such a brief, condescending, snippy and curt "correcting" post) I'd at least take the F'n time to make sure my "correction" was, well, correct. (I know this is a novel idea).

Just so you know, according to MLB.com, it is: Alfonso Marquez.

You and Dan Quayle have the same future as spelling evaluators.
