This is REALLY a small world! Nice to 'meet' you on the web.
And if you'll ever come back here, let me know in advance!

I've never been in USA. Though I worked with many (very, very good) umpires from USA. I don't want to forget someone... BTW from this forum I say 'hello' to Sonny Pompilii (Philadelphia), Joe Massaro (New Jersey), Jim Lykins (Las Vegas) and Lisa Rudloff (Arizona).

A.
Should have said that a week ago when I saw Jim Lykins in AZ. Even though he is just a few miles away, I probably won't see Sonny until March, but I'll definitely give him your message.

For your entertainment...I posted a photo too...It's at my Mother-in-law's lake and I'm on the right. The "little" guy on the left is my little brother. Every year the pier we are standing on needs to be taken out (usually in late October) and put back in (in early April).

Yeah, the water is cold.

Oh yeah, I'm 6'3"

SRW would add an action pic, but unfortunately all we have are static shots because we haven't seen him move yet.

j/k...

It is nice to see a lot of faces attached to names...and I agree, it would be nice to see even more!

Is there a "Rome" somewhere? So that I could be more precise!!

There is a city of Rome in New York, too. It's right in the center of the state.

Oh boy...where do I take this one!?!



Catcher has the ball, runner missed the plate, and you're 10 feet away!

Blah. I'm too tired to go there.

Hey, that's me! Thanks for posting the pic. Why hasn't that magazine we can't mention on this forum published this photo this year? they've done two others this year.

Darn straight I was 10 feet away. Maybe not quite 10 feet, but I remember this play. Originally had to be far enough back to have all elements of play in front of me, including the catch by the right fielder, tag up by runner at third, etc. So I had moved back to the fence and up the line (known as the holding area - you can look it up) so I could see all I needed to see without so much as a slight head turn...

Plus I had to make up for those who can't seem to get out from behind the plate no matter what...not that we have any of those...

Plus, it's much easier to not call crow hops from there.

Actually, rumor has it that my wife went to Honig's down in Oregon, and John (great guy that he is) found a Crow Hop Detector on one of the shelves in the back, sold it to my wife for a buck, and that's what I am getting for Christmas!!! Wooo Hoooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I just hope my rotator cuff doesn't wear out on me from calling all those millions of IPs I have been missing over the years.
