The Requirements Of Pay

I would take comments from members of an "adult mens league" with a grain of salt. They would "wine" no matter who was umpiring. The reason for the so called "high" Fee in mens adult league games is because for the most part no one would umpire these types of games if it wasn't for the FEE. The contsant "crap" that goes on in these type games is also a distraction.

Case and Point: My partner and I umpired an adult league men's league semi final game. Close game. R1 trys for third ball from out field gets by F5 and gets "stuck" in the fence. I call TIME as soon as I see the ball "stuck" and award R1 home.

Coach goes balistic saying "how can you give them a "cheap" run etc etc.

Therefore, as mentioned take the comments from a mens adult league with a grain of salt. They are "lucky" to have umpires to begin with.

That's a sad state of affairs, Pete. I look forward to adult ball (under 35); if you don't have the backing of a serious, no-lo toelerance policy by the organizers, then you have mutiny nearly every game.
