2008 Game count....

129

2 more this weekend if the weather holds.

Plus however many I do at the NCUS. Probably about 6.

So, about 137 for 2008. About 7 less than last year. I was trying to "take it easy" this summer, but wound up with a much bigger spring schedule than I usually do.

Post yours.

I worked as many games as was necessary to appease my superiors, and then some more for the Hell of it.

2008 Game Count

I worked 20 games. Down from the 22 I worked last year. But we had a very wet spring.

25 Dates Total. I had probably 10 dates cancelled in March and April. That is about half then normal. I loved every minute of it.

Peace

Exactly what I thought, too.

But, I'll bite. About 30, including playoffs and the NC/SC All-Star games. (See, I can play too!)

Numbers, numbers, numbers! We deal with them at work, at home, on the field and now on the forums! It is obvious that numbers give some people a sense of power, others a feeling of inadequacy and others seem to get an almost sexual satisfaction with them!

So to those who "get a rise" out of numbers, I will give you my tally for the season.

High School - I worked more games than I should have but not as many as I wanted to.

Summer - Not enough time to do enough games to make me sick of the heat.

Babe Ruth Regionals - Night after night under the lights, sucking wind with the dew points nearing 90° yet still keeping up with partners and players much younger than I.

Fall - all scheduled games (mine) rained out.

There - I hope I provided enough stimulus to satisfy the multitude of the masses.
