Hmm. So much for being open.
Not to mention the fact that not everyone who comes here is an umpire, and not everyone's intentions are good. We get the occasional troublemaker here who I'm sure would love to make a phone call higher up within our respective organizations just to try to cause problems. In that respect, relative anonymity is a wonderful thing.

We're much more open with each other with our identities once we trust each other, though. Since you've already got someone here who vouches for you (and is well-respected), you've got my trust, brother.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

My bad.

Based on this level of anonimity, I retract the fact that I am Smokey.

I am Paul, a rec ball umpire from Anaheim, CA.

Who enjoys his barley pop.



Occasionally.

Smoke...............damn.................Paul

Ya know, the only thing that may be as important (if not more important) as the brand of beer you drink, is who is buying it.

OP (other people's) beer has a great taste. Of course, Darrell will disagree (but he drank it!!).

I've always said the best beer is "Ice, Cold, Free".
