If I could ensure 50 games with just boys, I'd make the switch in a heartbeat. Too many commissioners around here expect that you'll work both (or take considerably fewer games if only asking for boys).

I understand and glad I do not have to work what I do not want to. That being said, still do not see why it matters. I would think "spokesperson" would cover both genders quite well.

It would, sure. It's an extra syllable I choose not to say. I'm flexible that way.

At some point I'll decide I'm happy with fewer games and will make the switch. At 34 games already this season, I'm wondering if I should cut back a bit next season. If this was my only sport, I'd work every night of the week, but with football and baseball and a family something's going to have to give eventually.
