If you want to dispute the sanctioning of the tournament you can always check with Warren Jones.

Interesting that the "veteran" ASA umpire assigned as our 3rd when on the bases never once turned to watch a ball to the outfield, redardless of the number of runners on base. So despite his offer of assistance on a "tough " catch, he was a non participant.

But he did have the proper ASA out call down pat.And his shoes looked good.

At least he had his ASA priorities.

come down next time....
I shall.

The good news is that I get to work what was a BIG men's FP tournament...and I guess it is still big with no more teams than we have up here any more. Maybe Jimmy Moore and who knows, couple other hall of famers will play. Jimmy might not throw in the 90s anymore, but low 80s against some of these 20-something kiddos is usually sufficient.

It's the Men's Seattle Hardcore Invitaional Tournament, or as we call it out back around a few iced down coolers, Men's ...

I haven't worked any slow pitch at all this year (and very little in my career) and had no first-hand knowledge of this tournament.
Unfortunately, all tournaments are not "ASA CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENTS" as Jim claimed.

Ok, I did. And I let him know you were namedropping him in a lame attempt at legitimacy on this issue.

Perhaps if you respect him and HE tells you you are wrong, maybe you'll listen ... although I'm expecting him to say, "Who the heck are you talking about - I don't know this guy".

He didn't reply as much as simply forward my note to a P.Drake, copying me on the forwarding.

Paul does that in addition to his duties as Perry Mason's private detective.

Not sure what you could possibly mean by this, but Mr. Drake did give me his number to call, which I plan on doing when I finish my real job this afternoon.
