Some of us like doing this umpiring thing but don't really need the work. I'd spend more time on my boat and with my kids.

Let's back up a second. Clearly I don't work leagues like this -- I work college baseball, high school baseball, summer adult baseball, and some other youth stuff where the rules are well defined. I appreciate you folks who are forced to deal with Calvinball rules, but I really don't have to deal with that. NCAA and FED rules are well defined and I don't run into people who would insist on such idiocy as banning eyewear. I wear sunglasses everywhere, including the plate and I couldn't imagine telling someone they aren't allowed to protect their eyes, but I guess some of you feel that's OK.
