Very true words. I would add that umpiring the plate is twice as physically draining as playing catcher, as the catcher at least gets to sit on the bench and relax when not catching, batting, or running bases.
People crack me up who think umpiring is easy when they've never once done it! Those who have strapped on the gear know that it is far from it.
