To the contrary, I see nothing wrong with wanting to make a few extra bucks during the week. I sure as hell wouldn't be behind the plate, putting up with the chatter for free. Wait... I did for the first 4 years, but that's beside the point...

If the money is his ONLY reason, then he probably will not last long. He won't improve, nor will he move up. However, if moving up is not his goal, that's his right. Improvement, on the other hand, is not optional. You either improve, or you'll drown on the field.

But I can understand where the money part comes in. Frankly, this economy sucks, and I can't fault a guy for wanting to supplement his income. That was initially my sole reason for continuing to call games after I stopped volunteering. Luckily, I later saw the light.

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.
