If you are happy with the situation and the way it was handled fine. I have an assignor that will keep you on games even if you had problems with that team or coach from time to time. We should all be professional no matter what. And in baseball games change daily based on rescheduling so it always seems to happen that I will have to work a place I would prefer not to so a game can be covered.

I suppose you read my earlier comments about not being afraid to do these games? Anyway, since the state association felt like it was best for me to not do the first game with team A, I felt like I should go ahead and turn in the second game just to keep things on an even keel. I have both of these teams on my schedule again, and will likely see one or both in the playoffs as well. As they say in these parts, I ain't skeered!
