I'd call it sarcasm more than tongue in cheek...and i shouldn't run my head since I actually may be calling a machine pitch tournament next month

In 1998 I worked two machine pitch games at the begging of my assignor. they hired 2-man crews and paid $35/game. One worked the machine (pitched) and the other worked the bases. Was told they needed two umpires because of the parents.

Longest evening of my life that I will never get back.

you have not lived..or maybe just died slowly...until you have called a T-Ball ALLSTAR tournament....I would rather call the worst HS teams imaginable than go through that again

Several years ago I was given a "BRONCO" playoff game, which ended up being a "PINTO" (7-8 year olds) playoff game!! Needless to say I was distressed at this occurance, but I perservered and finished the game.

The players were SOOOO small I had to work on one knee, with that shin guard off. I called the whole game with one shin guard removed and I occassionally even played catcher when the little dudes decided it was more fun to daydream.

There is one decided perk for doing this level. On a warm summer day the dress was rather skimpy on the GLM's in the stands. There were plenty of pleasant views in the stands.
