New NFHS Rules that MTD, Jr., and I learned today.

The only person more stupid is anyone that actually paid for this guy to officiate. He couldn't volunteer at my LL park, much less get paid by my association.

Why would anyone accept this knucklehead as an umpire for your game?

p.s. do you not have a camera on your cell phone? If so, where's the picture?
COME ON NOW!

I think I'm going to puke!

Dang, I never thought of taking a picture with my cell phone. When it comes to camera phones I am somewhat technology challenged.

If it's like mine, it's not easy.

First, you have to pull the phone out of your pocket. Then you have to flip it open. (Here's where I always get bogged down.) You have to find the button with the tiny camera engraved on it and push it.

I wish we had a picture...........I have a powerpoint presentation that I show at my association meetings that includes these types of "umpires"...impact of it is to drive home the fact that how we look makes an impression....good or bad....

Id love to add that one to my collection...

The Umpire struck again today. I took pictures and Andy and Mark, Jr., are going to help me tomorrow get the pictures from my cell phone to my hard drive and then on Officiating.com. And Ozzy you will really puke.

Our computer caught a virus Sunday and is in the shop getting fixed as we speak. I hope to have the picture posted by Sunday if not sooner.
