My First Ejection ...

[Steve M]

Al,
One more thing to remember and consider when you're thanking us & offering to pay & all that.

I think I have made just about every mistake that an umpire can make over the years - and those that I haven't made, somebody else here probably has. I think each wil commend your desire & effort to learn - so learn from the mistakes of the past - and, when you have the opportunity, pass it on to the next "generation" of umps. That's your thanks & repayment - pass it on.
