If he broke it into individual lots ...

Lots of shirts; lots of chest protectors; lots of indicators; lots of uncreased caps ...

Which I would immediately crease! Uncreased hats make you look like Elmer Fudd on a wabbit hunt.:)

My journal entry really had nothing too important to mention.

Standard “first game of the year” on the stick. (Timing just a shade faster than Ed Montegue for the first two innings.)

Did have a slide and tag play at the dish – gone to my “casual” out sign no matter how close the play.

The clock is ticking and I hope to get may three or four more games in before calling it a career.

And “no”, I will not miss it at all.

Tee Congrats but instead of calling it a career how about evaluating other umpires or mentoring them.

Do not know about your area, but evaluating and mentoring seem to be a thing of the past.

Hey TEE you can also start up a new web-site and perhaps bring back Strikes / Outs which were good reading. You know how people like your personality on the internet.

Congratulations Tee on a long and successful career. I hope you continue to contribute quality information both here and in Oregon.

Congrats Tim C

Who gets the 18 wheeler that you carry all the equipment in?

Tell us about your first Ejection.

How long did it take you to make varsity? There was some guy on a post that was just promoted to freshman HS ball after 9 years. In some areas, you could be the next Doug Harvey, and you do not get to call varsity until you work 4 years of JV because that's the way its always been done. I had to wait so you have to wait regardless of how good you are or the extra leagues you have called during the summers and the schools you have attended.
