Can't speak for other areas, but, in Georgia, that is an oxymoron.

Nothing against NSA, but I'll probably never figure out how to do their strike mechanic... or their ball mechanic... and that safe mechanic, thats a toughie.. and I'm sure I'd drop my brush tossing it up at least 50% of the time.

Maybe I need an NSA clinic.

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.

Doubt any clinic could help you. Perhaps finding a youtube video of a NSA umpire could help. A clue for you would be: They wear black NSA hats, white shirts with a NSA logo, and when wearing a jacket, it would be black with a NSA logo.

I was unable to locate any of these alleged mythical creatures, other than a couple of beer league slow pitch vids... I gave it the old college try though. If you got one, I'll take a look!

Actually, this is a HS umpire working an Indiana HS playoff game a couple years ago. Julie J showed this at either the Central Atlantic Regional or UIC Clinic last year.
