What you fail to comprehend , is that Rich DOES volunteer his services with a baseball organization and he has stated as such in this thread.

Quite frankly I DON'T umpire for the money. I do it because I love the game and enjoy umpiring. The money is nice but it's not why I do it and I could make a lot more doing other things with my free time. I choose not to because I don't enjoy them nearly as much as I do officiating. Like the vast majority of us, I turn very little profit officiating. I'd say I don't get why this is so hard to understand, but I know you're just trolling.

With that, time to stop feeding the troll. Just can't help myself sometimes.

This is the concept of opportunity cost, and your application of it is exactly right. But it's confusing for some people.
