He really did say it

[L.A. Umpire Guy]

The subject was about two umpires: one who is tactless and unfair, and one who is simply unfair. Both are objectionable to many of us. Why is that hard to understand?

It is time to say, look at the source! Don't bother, L.A.! This guy is more than likely a previously removed poster trying to get a rise out of us.

You're so right.

... So, how you been, Ozzy? And just so you know, I always took your quote at the bottom as a quip and not your credo.

Perhaps not. He has been a member since April of 2006, with 49 posts. I think he was dead serious, unfortunately.

I always wonder how people have spent their entire officiating career working subvarsity games at tiny schools and wonder why they aren't getting varsity games at larger schools. People are always watching and listening.

I've gotten my "big breaks" working games for rec leagues (be it wooden bat leagues, men's leagues, etc) and someone of importance just happen to be there to watch their son/nephews/etc. I quickly went from working subvarsity high school games to working interstate high school varsity rivalry games and competitive woodbat championship games (in a few short years). It's amazing what a little hardwork, good attitude, willingness to learn hustle, and ethics will do for a student of the game.
