I'm still trying to figure out why my name is associated with this garbage. I guess it was an attempt at humor, but I am not finding it funny. Here I thought I would see a very professional looking and speaking person in the video, such as a major league umpire, which would be much closer to how I would make such a video.

Lighten up steve!

I'm hooked on this series. This stuff cracks me up.

My favorite so far is in the equipment video:
"You awlso need onea 'dese - a mask. It helps keep you from geedin' a loose tooth, a bwoken nose, or an eyeball pawped out."

Oh gosh. That's too much. I can't watch anymore. Ok, maybe one more!

Did you see in this video while ole #7 is talking to the camera, a kid is warming up the pitcher without a mask on?
C'mon ump. What if he gets a tooth knocked loose, a broken nose, or an eyeball popped out?

Now I've gotta quit. The guy who works for me just came in to see what all the laughing is about.

This is my favorite so far:

There are so many "mistakes" in these videos it would take forever to point them all out. That one did catch my attention last night though. How silly!

I cannot get enough of this guy...Watching the Bowling ones now.

Expert Village is the name of the outfit that puts this out. I can only imagine their " How to meet girls":

Hi, my name is Joe. I work part time at Sonic, live with my Aunt in a spare room and play Atari most of the day. Works EVERY time!

No disrespect to Mr. Jenkins (with all honesty), but how many unproductive comments does one have to post before something happens?

UmpRube,

A moderator will find this nonsense eventually and take out the trash. You can report it by using the triangle icon in the corner of the post if you like.

Do not be overly concerned with this individual, who has made brief visits before and will likely come again.

[Ump Rube]

Thanks, I have tag some of the responses. I do feel that I have to appologize to the forum for (lack of a better word) baiting him/her. Being part of an online forum for such a short time I now know that the best thing to do it just not respond, I will remember this in the future.

[SethPDX]

Don't worry about it, you're fine. Trolls come and go all the time around here.

This one is one of the best on there. Him running around the infield and then running back and forth to cover the rundown is hilarious.

I think I my partner from last night's game watched these videos and took pointers from them

Giving loud commentary on everything that's happening (runs scored, total runs per inning, saying out loud that the batter reached first because of the dropped third strike). He really was acting like a color commentator.

Wearing baseball cleats behind the plate, the only thing that was protecting his feet were the ends of his shinguards.
*Edited*-He also didn't have a plate brush, just called time and kicked dirt off the plate.

The real kicker was that we were fighting darkness at the end of the game. He announced for EVERYONE to hear "*fielding team*, your assignment is to finish this inning in less than 13 minutes so you can get one more turn at-bat." However, we may not have needed to do that if he didn't spend 2-3 minutes between each inning chatting it up with the parents in the stands.

And I looked at my schedule, I have games with him 4 more times this summer...
