Does Anyone Else Still Have To Wait To Umpire?

[canadaump6]

Wow, it's still around a month until what I am assuming will be my first game. I hate the 8 month offseason in Canada. Anybody else know what I mean?

[etn_ump]

No, not really. I work my 23rd game of the HS regular season tomorrow and have 3 more this weekend. You need to move south.

[Ump29]

I know how you feel. It will be about the end of May before my first.

[canadaump6]

Wow, where abouts do you live to have baseball season start that late? I hope that baseball ends at least by the beginning of October so that you can get a 4 month umpiring season in. That's all I do; beginning of May till beginning of September.

[Ump29]

Nova Scotia. Baseball starts mid May and ends mid to late Sept.

[JRutledge]

I have worked 8 games/dates already.

Peace

canadaump06,

I've worked three games here (Chicago area) so far this year. First two games were last week, and it was in the 70s for both of them. Worked one this week, it was in the mid-60s - pretty nice for this time of year around here all the way around.

I'm scheduled to work a DH starting at 10:00AM this Saturday. Forecast is a high of 36, low of 28, "flurries" and a North wind thrown in for good measure. I'm feeling cold already.

I called the second game of a DH in the first inning this past Monday due to snow. Couldn't see the pitcher release the ball.

The next day, I worked a game in near 70 degree weather. Today, the high was in the 40's. Friday it's supposed to be 70. If you don't like springtime weather in Spokane you just wait a minute...it'll change.

In Canada I start May 1st which is the first day we are allowed on the diamonds. I have done some travelling and have already done some games as it is.

23 games already between college and high school. That will be 28 by the end of the weekend.

48 so far, had a few rain out in early feb, but it has been dry since except for one day. Have 3 this weekend Thur-Sat, off for easter sunday. Gotta love California weather.

[UmpireBob]

IT'S SNOWING! My lawn is white! Just Tuesday, I was wearing a t-shirt! UUUURRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Our high school season started 3/28, but our Little League season doesn't start until 4/28.

Chompin' at the bit! I'm hoping for some scrimmage games.

[johnnyg08]

lost two games last Sunday probably going to lose more if this stellar weather continues here in Minnesota...very, very frustrating.

[blewthatone]

WOW!! Maybe you guys should move a little farther south. We have been going since late January. Of course we go all year round here. Gotta love South Florida.
