You worked a Florida Marlins game?

Wait, that's like 2,000 too many in attendance. Never mind.

I forgot to mention, working the Right field line at the AA Eastern League All-Star game was pretty cool.

It was so foggy out nobody could see anything and the job was actually pretty difficult. The game, played after the derby, was stopped after 2 innings due to the fog.

A thanks goes out to the umpire in our association that took me under his wing for an enjoyable experience (including the mentoring on the car ride).

Mine is my first National Championship. My first plate game of the tournament started at 10pm and was suspended at 12:15 am and continued 8 hours later. Had two games go into extra innings, one coach's interference, two time plays, and nearly a coach's fight.
