It's All About The Money

[BigUmp56]

I think lost in Fitump's assertion that all umpires are in it for the money are the thousands of umpires who volunteer their services to LL. Combine that with the fact that there are many more who work only youth games in other organizations for very little money should prove his assertion to be untrue. If I were in it for the money I'd certainly never work another LL game again in the district in which I reside. I continue to work LL games along with the rest of the leagues I work because it's where I started and I've built relationships over the years with so many wonderful people. Even though we're not paid in this district I enjoy seeing these people and continuing to be a part of the LL experience for so many young baseball players. I guess I'm just a sap to believe I have to be paid every time I step onto a diamond to work a game.

No, I was only addressing those that have money as their incentive. Which is why the Subject is:

Now, as you know, there are other things than direct cash that LL umpires work for. No registration fees for their sons and daughters, free gear, other non taxable incomes.
