perception sometimes is not reality

I had a JH double header today and walked in the gym not knowing who my partner was. I see a guy who could be my father(and I'm on the back nine).

He has the byron collar on with old, crummy shoes, zipper down on shirt with a white T on and a whistle from my old Lionel train days.

The guy called a perfect game........not much on mechanics but he was terrific and a great guy to boot, been at it for over 50 years. Does about 10 12 dates a year for his assignor friend.

God bless him.............

But he's never available for games on Christmas.

Now that you mention it, I've seen both of them in the same place...........hmmmmmm?

We've got a guy in our association that's 75 and still does a complete schedule - and keeps up both physically and mentally. He does a nice job and still gets tournament games. I hope when I'm 75 I can walk (even with a walker) and eat without drooling.

A Jurassic Referee sighting?

There was a guy in Nevadaref's area when I was officiating there that was pretty darn old that did a great job. You know the skin and bones character, I wish I could remember his name, he was spoken of in Ref Mag several years ago.

So between now and then, you're going to get better?
