I don't know if I remember the game, but I remember the day. It was in the middle of July on a VERY hot Wisconsin Sunday (90-some degrees, sweat dripping everywhere). I was doing a USSSA tourney, and Saturday had been rained out. I did 9 games the following day, most of which were as a single umpire. I was so sunburnt, I was already blistering that night, but I still felt like a barrier had been broken, I guess.
I got started as an umpire at age 15 because I couldn't keep my big mouth shut. On New Year's Eve, I asked my former league's director if he needed umpires while he was enjoying drinks at my parents' house. Oops! ![]()

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again. |
