I guess I am the strange exception then. I never really played any serious baseball growing up..more into basketball. The small town I grew up in had a town men's fastpitch team that played in a statewide league. Almost every Friday and Saturday night was spent at the local field watching the Mens FP games.

I became a HS basketball official after college and did that for about 12 years. When the legs couldn't handle the pounding on the hardwood any more, one of my buddies convinced me to try FP...that was about 10 years ago and I have been hooked ever since.

I have done a few baseball games as a favor to assignors, but found that I just did not like it.

FP softball is where I started umpiring, and it's where I will stay.
