Just Softball

[SC Ump]

I started ASA adult softball. A year of two later, I moved into FED softball and FED baseball. The baseball led to Legion and some over-40 mens league. I did both for perhaps 10 years. (Always FED softball, but different levels of baseball over the 10 years.)

I got into one FED association where the same association booked BB and SB. I got all the SB games I could handle and eventually just quit even registering for FED BB.

I joke with BB officials that it's the game time that I like, but that's not it. I like that I am at the level of officiating where I see the detailed differences in the way softball differs for BB. Not just in rules but in philosophy. And I like that. I like that it's faster paced and, IMHO, not as pretentious.
