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!

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!

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

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.
;)
