Does Anyone Else Still Have To Wait To Umpire?

Wow, what a concept! People that do other sports. Please tell me it's not true! What makes you think that I don't do other sports as well? Let's see, I guess we don't play football and basketball here. I was just stating that the "baseball season" starts earlier here.

What makes you think the only reason people are working few games is a result of the weather? You are the one that made the "I have been working since January" comment. And you suggested this would change because if they lived in South Florida. I am sure there is more to working baseball than just the weather? I know it is that way for me. I know I am not the only one where I live.

Peace

Where did you get the "I have been working since January," line from. I said that we have been going here since then. I have had other things going so don't add word to my posts that are not there.

Let me put it to you this way. In my state you cannot even umpire a HS baseball game until March 12. Then because of the fact that baseball is not a revenue sport and often there are no tarps covering fields (like many college baseball teams), you might not work many games at all until the following week or two after. And if your team is a good basketball school, you might not even have practiced by that time as an entire team (or at all if you are a small school). It is not all about the weather from many of us. And if you are working other sports at that time, you might not want to go right into another sport without a significant break. I know that is the case for a lot of officials in my area and I am sure in other parts of the country.

Peace
