Sheesh, I could barely hear him! I think he would be much more effective if he would express himself more, be more descriptive, and louder! (sarc)

Looks like a PONY patch, which means someone is actually paying this tool.

So true. All the LL leagues I had the opportunity early on in my career and chose not to do were paid leagues or tournaments.

Doesn't look like he's wearing any protective gear.

Anyways, he must have attended the Frank Drebin School of Umpiring.

He is clearly a graduate of the Cokalinksi Combine. We will be seeing him in the "Big Game" soon enough.

God Bless Him! If he can get paid for calling games like that, more power to him. He must be somewhere where the next closest umpire must be in another area code.

Isn't there a saying something like: "It's not the tool, it's the user?"
