So that just erases what the guy did ? Molesting three kids undoes a lifetime of "good works" umpiring kids games, if you ask me. What were these people thinking ?

Especially when the guy is serving 35 years probation and WORKING BABE RUTH GAMES, age 13-15, which is the same age range as the boys he sexually assaulted.

Totally embarrassing, and I'm going to be interested to see how the Torrington board does re: recruiting next spring.
