umpire fees

[MemUmp#49]

Let me tell you this. I work D1 college Baseball and alot of summer adult college ball. If you don't have a enough money to buy some equipment then you need to find another hobby. If you don't want to work the plate then quit Umpiring. If you are going to arrive at the game 5 mins. before a single game because you don't want to work the plate then call me the night before the game and tell me you want me to work the game and I will work. I would rather be behind the plate any day you can have a lot more oppertunity to make mistakes on the bases then you do the plate. Balls and Strikes are confined by the batter and catcher and ump. In my view if you don't want to work the plate then you are probably not a good umpire nor will you be one.
