Time to say Goodbye


After 28 years of umpiring and of those, 26 were as an ASA umpire, I have come to the point in life where I have to hang it up.
My doctors have found a threatening aneurysm that is almost ready to pop and surgery is scheduled for later this week barring any unforseen problems.

30 something ASA Nationals, 5 different state High school championship series, college ball and even some of the Women's Pro ball in the 90's.
Tons of tournaments, fast pitch, slow pitch and my favorite Modified.........
Working with people from every state in the nation and having been able to work in so many states plus military installations.

I am seriously going to miss working as an umpire and especially the fun of tournaments, seeing friends and meeting new ones.

I will stay around on the board of course but it won't be the same.

You guys take care of yourselves and each other, keep a check on your health too.

I had no idea I had a problem, never even felt bad.
But the doctors have nixed any further participation at all.

Be good to each other and remember there are only two types of calls.

GOOD CALL = OUT!
Bad call = safe
