$7,000 IN A SUMMER????? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

You'd have to work about 155 games in the summer at $45 per game (and some you say pays $30) in order to make $7,000. According to someone else's research you said you only worked 85 games in the summer. If you got paid $45 for each of those games that would be less than $4,000. Of course I don't think you work 85 games in a summer since there's only about 100 days (give or take) in the summer months. I cannot believe you work almost every single night - but maybe. I do NOT believe you make $6-7,000 umpiring either. I work two sports, basketball and softball, and I don't make that much in a year working those two sports and I work more than I want to . . .
While I certainly don't condone all of his bs, making $6 or $7 grand in a season is possible. If you did pony, colt, HS, legion, etc, it's possible to do 50 games a month - @ $50 a pop, $2,500 a month x 4 months = $10K. Yeah you'd have to work every day two a night during the week and 3 or 4 on both Saturday and Sunday, but it is possible, although by that time you might not be able to stand up anymore. I only worked about 40 games last year and made just under two grand.

I will work about 15 games this month at $45 a pop. $675. In May I will work 2 games a week day every day for $30 a pop. And I will work a minimum of 6 on the weekends. $480 a week. June and July I will work 6 weeks. So $480 times 10=$4800. So by the 2nd week of June I will have made $5475. So $5475 for about 3 months of work. And it can only go higher than that because I will be mixing in some $45 games because a major travel tournament comes in, so it could be $6000 very easily, I just won't count those games yet, since I dont have my schedule for the tourney.

Now in the fall we are talking about 30 games. So 30 times 30 = $900. $5475 +900= $6375. But we could be talking around $7,000 depending on how many extra travel games I get.

So yes, about 6 thousand in a summer. Have anything else to say Mountaineer?

It is very easy as well. I only go to school for about 4 hours a day, so I have 5 hours of my own times before I even see a baseball field during the day I work. Also, the $30 games, the time limit is an hour and 45 minutes, maximum. What a good gig for an 18 year old to be.

I would guess he took you at your first word which was 6,000 to 7,000 in the summer, which for most of us is three months. He wasn't aware that you apparently consider the fall part of the summer.

I have already worked 62 games as of tonight this year. I don't call FED anymore but I call USSSA tournment baseball every weekend and games almost every nite rangeing from mens 30 and over league to PONY baseball of all age groups our games in USSSA from 32.50 for 12yrs. and under to 40.00 for 16-18yr. old. So I can very well see earning well more than 6 to 7 thousand per year. Our season runs from Feb. thru Nov. weather permiting.

I think that many games would make me hate baseball after a while.

When I first started last year, I hated it. That was until I got my first $300 pay check.

aaaahhh!


ok, either one will do. I'm rather shocked that Muxley doesn't wear old ratty tennis shoes to bank even more loot, but I guess the 'real' shoes will wow the young impressionables.

Melinda Doolittle is infinitely more talented than Sanjaya could ever hope to be.
