My Sundays are free now because this happened to me last season with adult players. I ejected the catcher, pitcher, and manager and within minutes, the game was forfeited. When the league didn't properly handle the aftermath, I decided I'd never work another game for that league as long as the current leadership is part of it.

Now I have a 20-game plan to the Brewers, play golf, and hang with my family. I haven't umpired on Sunday all season. The league doesn't miss me. Win, win.

Rich, good for you! I went home looked for my first open weekend and blocked it. I had the bases last night at the same field. Spoke with the plate umpire who told me guys are already giving their games back due to more BS. Last year an email went out to all umpires and managers. The email outlined the ejection procedure, player conduct, etc. Very few problems. This year an email was not sent out.

Thanks for Tony Gwynn. I hope you are enjoying Gerut.
