I'm shocked that the "magic number" is SEVEN. In HS ball, the most I've worked any one team during a season has been 3 games (the third one of which ended up being a disaster). Even in intramurals, I don't think I've ever seen a time more than 5 or 6 times a season.

Also, I'm wondering how they found out the amount of the officials' game checks. Is tht covered by FOIA in Florida, perhaps?

I think the game fees are close to accurate, but the amount of games they talked about working was

The article mentioned Ted Valentine doing 70 games - or maybe it said more than 70 games. I think he does considerably more than that. Maybe not the 120 Welmer does, but more than 70.
