End of Game

[PeteBooth]

=Rich Fronheiser]And I think dropping the baseballs at the plate is the most disrespectful thing an umpire can do. I hand mine to a home player or assistant coach. There's rarely a need to leave so quickly that you can't do that.

Rich as I said it's about protocol and what is the accepted practice in one's area. What might seem disrspectful to you is perfectly acceptable somewhere else which is why I prefaced my response with (the accepted protocol in one's area)

Also, what is so disrespectful about dropping the balls at the plate area. It's not like the PU is slamming them down etc. We each have our own opinion, but simply placing the balls (dropping them) at the Plate is No Big deal.

Regardless if you are getting paid for LL or not, when you work the tourney you should work according to the rules and procedures put forth by the TD. Otherwise, don't bother working

Which is exactly what I said in my response so I do not know what this comment is for. I agree with you on this point.

Do not know about your association Rich, but in mine our ASSIGNOR is the person whom we listen to not some local TD.
