If you are an excellent umpire, and for some reason only act like you do here, here, then your looks shouldn't hold you up.

My younger son also looks four or five years younger than his age, but he worked high school varsity at 17 and the state varsity tournament, the state legion tournament, and some college ball at 20.

Looks

"The names by which things are called are important in shaping our interpretation of reality. People are often surprised to discover that historical labels which define the past are inventions of later scholarship and ideology, not parts of the past itself."

You join an umpire association and think your looks are holding you back.
I suppose the ugly ole geezers should look UP to you.
Pay your dues or quit like everyone else.
There is no overnight pill.

You may have some potential but Im sure you are quite raw & unpolished. You have also made some foolish posts in the past, perception = reality canada6
