I would be shocked if any of the coaches in my games wore a uniform. Of course, if he wanted to change jobs and be the batboy...

And my own dressing room?

Umpiring in Holland sounds fun.

the grass on the otherside (or ocean) is allways greener than home:

- In the Neth.'s are all umpires amateur, which means we all have a full-time job and umpire for the love of the sport. The only money we make is a km-cost (Euro 0,20/km).
- We have a short competition; 36-50 games a year (period april-september), mostly on saturday's.
- It is often cold in the first and last month's, rain-outs during the whole summer.
- US-pitchers dominating the competition and errors by dutch fielders...
- Coaches who don't know the rules, which makes thing interesting (and Í'm told you have this same "problem").

If you truly want to work your games here, find Larry White, Doug Zimmerman or Sonny Pompilii. They worked one or more editions IndoorCup at Schiedam. From there you might find the way to our competition...

so much for going over to get a change of pace from Seattle. Actually I would love to go over there. My progenitors fled to what became New Netherlands (and later New York) from Deventer.

Umpiring over there IS a lot of fun, Seth. From Alex's list, Sonny is headed back in 2009, I think Doug & I are going again in 2010, and I don't know whether Larry is headed back.
