Starting Back
 

I start back umpiring after a 3 year layoff due to health reasons this coming weekend. I will be working the SDABL adult league, which is a well organized, competitive league that features many divisions based on age and ability. The league features former MLB and MiLB, as well as many former D-1 players. They have very strict rules about player and manager behavior. I will be working double headers on Saturdays and Sundays at local high school fields. I am very excited! My new assignor is a very good guy who is impressed with my experience and dedication to the game, and will be keeping me busy. I can't wait to get back on the field with my new gear and trimmed down body!

Just thought I would share my excitement!

Good Luck Steve!!! Enjoy yourself and have some fun.

Atta boy.....go get em...

That is great news and I wish you all the luck in the world. Great story!

Heh, heh! Go get 'em, Steve!

Welcome back, Steve. Best of luck and have fun!!

Steve,

Have fun.

Don't suck.

Se ya' in 7 (or 9, as the case may be).

JM

9 for first game. 7 for second game if it's the same visiting team. 9 innings for both if different visiting teams.

Thanks to all the well-wishers. I'll try not to suck. Too much.;)

I'll repeat what John said, Steve. Don't suck. Well, not a lot anyway!


Tim.

Thanks Tim, I knew I could count on your support!:rolleyes::)

Good Luck Steve,

I was out for a couple of years myself and returned this year only to be sidelined again by knee surgery. Looking forward to January.

Again , Good Luck

Good luck Steve!

Steve, just try to remember this:

If you think you just sucked, but you're so good at umpiring that no one really noticed, then did you actually suck? The answer is no.

Countdown begins....
 

the rule is:
2 game spread, count how many games until Steve's first ej.

I'm taking the 6 th and/or 7th game.
