A great person once said, "you can lead a horse to water . . . " I KNOW you know the rest.

Good to see ya dropping in.

TEE, this thread is already 4 pages long. Peter's thread on calling a Balk during a dead ball situation was 5 pages long, plus his thread was posted on another Board where it received even more play.

As Carl says Simply Amazing.

I don't know of any association that promotes their umpires carrying rule-books on the field of play unless you are single and want to use it to write down some phone numbers of prospective dates.

Tim:

Just got back this afternoon from your neck of the Pacific Northwest woods. Took my son Matthew on a college visitation tour of University of Puget Sound, Seattle University, Pacific University, Portland State and University of Oregon. I think Univerity of Puget Sound will win out. They've offered a good scholarship and he really likes the facilities and the commmunications professor he met. I like everything about it except its initials: UPS. Hopefully, when it comes to a good education, they'll deliver.

Now to get on topic. To paraphrase the NRA: I'll carry my rule book on the field when they can pry it INTO my cold dead hand. Otherwise, it stays in the car next to the PBUC, BRD, J/R and the Kinnamon "Bible". (The JEA is too damn heavy.)
