Greetings
 

New to this forum, just wanted to say hello, ASA umpire in Dallas since 1981 but still learning evrytime I step on the field.

Welcome
 

Welcome aboard, as there are many knowledgeable people here who can help anyone trying to improve thier game!!!!!:)

Welcome to this board. Have a question, ask away. I have learned much from the members of this forum. P.S. I went to your Dallas Umpire website to see if you were an officer. Someone needs to learn how to spell Secretary. Dave

You kidding!!! Another damn Texan? Don't you guys have anything better to do than umpire ball games and surf the web?

:D

Oh, what the hell! Welcome aboard, Lupe.

Mike,
I dont' think they do down there. I just came back from a business trip down to Texas, flew into Dallas/Ft. Worth circling to land I saw a number of softball fields in use, couldn't help but wonder if anyone on this board was out there working.....either way someone was out there working and I was jealous....it was only low 80's by that time of the evening, not sure I would have been ready for the 100's you guys put up with earlier this week!!!!!!!

I just had a four hour layover at DFW on my way back from Hawaii. Our plane landed at 5:00 am and our next flight left at nine (yuck).

I don't know about the guys you saw on the softball fields, but if you saw a guy sleeping in terminal 34B, waiting for a flight to Columbus, Ohio, that was me!:D

Thanks, we actually did not call any games in January, our winter league did not start until February, so we only work softball 11 months a year.

My spellcheck must not be working :)

Welcome Lupe. And ignore all of this Texas bias you may hear on this board. We all know that they are just jealous! :D

Jealous of Texas? Not a shot! I'm happy right where I am, thank you.

Somehow, though, singing, "I saw miles and miles of Delaware," just doesn't sound right. :D

That would be because there aren't. ;)

A Texas umpire and a Delaware umpire were discussing whether they regularly called games in neighboring states.

TU: "Hail no. If Ah got in mah pickup an' drove awl day, Ah'd steel not git to the stayit line."

DU: "Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to have a truck like that, too."

Nothing would sound right if sung by any of us.

:D

I swear if we just got Mike one scoop of Blue Bell, he would come around...
