Thumbs up 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!

Thanks, I guess I should say that every time.

I guess the way to write it is, SPIRITS of Ammonia.

When I work the bases in high heat and humidity, between innings I have the trainer bring me a half a cup of crushed ice. I take off my hat, dump the ice in the hat, put the hat back on, and it keeps me cool for a good two innings. As the ice melts the water runs down the back of my neck which helps the cooling process. Nobody notices since it just looks like I'm sweating - which I am anyway! Try it -
