I agree with you, DG.
When it gets to the point where I've called it a forfeit; that's what it is. No more discussion or apologizing on anyone's part is going to change that outcome. Having said...

Your coach friend......
is really going to appreciate you sharing that letter here, Glen.
Is it anybody in my area, or your home port?

Here's what I do with my cap
I use a helmet mask and love it. I walk onto the field wearing my cap, and with my helmet under my arm. When the game starts I hang my cap on the fence, using a bungee cord. This is also quite handy...

Academy has NB 609's
I just bought a new pair of 609's at Academy for $45 plus tax. It would be hard to beat that deal, based on what I'm reading here. FWIW: they feel great, and did from the very first time I wore them.

the fact that you have't been screamed at yet by a coach is more the result of you're being a relatively new official, than it is the fact that you're black. Do this long enough; it will happen to...

That's what L.L. ball is supposed to be like.
Yes, I think that's the play he's talking about. BU3 didn't hesitate on his siganl of fair ball, and he had a good view of any interference that would've occured. Replays appeared to show that there...

Not a problem with +POS
Brian,
I had no problem with my +POS mask at all. I really liked it, and would go back to it without hesitation, if I had to for a short time.
I bought my helmet after a "friend" took my +POS...

You must a real pro, I guess.........

Also, if I might add to that..............
The umpire is not to call a runner out for missing a base(or to call DEAD BALL for that matter), if there is no appeal by the defense. This is the same for LL and ASA.
He pretty much screwed this...

If it's a true foul tip, it would have to be a live ball in every situation. Otherwise, it would only be a foul ball.

I can almost top that one.....not proud, though.
3 yrs. ago, I'm BU in a Sr. League (15-16) baseball game. 1st batter gets a hit and is at 1B. 2nd batter hits a hard grounder to SS. I'm in B (obviously not deep enough as will soon become apparent)...
