Umpiring Moment of the Year

[GarthB]

My best moments in umpiring:

1. Working a three-man AAA Legion game with my two sons.

2. The first time I watched my younger son work as a real MiLB umpire.

I can see where those situations would be a toss up. Which of the two do you consider to be the most brutal?

Those certainly are moments to be proud of and thank you for catching my typo per your #30 post in this thread.

This year my best moment this year was being able to get back on the field and umpire after two major cancer surgeries and months of chemotherapy.

Umpiring Moment of the Year

My best moment would be to see an end to this ridiculous thread!

My umpiring moment of the year was at a 15 and under girls softball tournament. I go near the backstop, take off my base pants, put my jock on over my underware, then put my plate pants on........no, wait, that wasn't me......nevermind.

Most memorable moment:

The six ejections in five minutes (as discussed in an earlier thread ).
