Why do you officiate?

This is me. The only two sports I do are basketball and softball. I've always loved basketball. As far back as I can remember, ACC tournament time has been a sacred time of year.

I didn't start out loving softball, in fact, I just went because my sister played. But over about 10 years of watching softball, I've grown to love the sport, and so I now umpire softball.

I know that some guys will referee just about every sport imaginable, and that, I think, is a little questionable. But some guys just enjoy more than one sport. You can't have more than one woman (unless you're just that good), but you can have more than one sport, no problem.
