I'm fixing to start my 21st season umpiring with my son. We do 3rd/4th grade girls softball. Started when he was 13-14. Took a bit of work on position, etc, but he's turned into a real good umpire. And these turkey coaches are learning it is not the world series. It's rec ball. Chill....

That's awesome, Steve. That's exactly how I started: umpiring with my father, and I've stuck with it after all these years.

And I've noticed that this is your first post here. Welcome to the board! You're in the right place!

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

Thanks... I've been scanning this board for quite a while, picking up useful info. Thought it time to register and put my 2 cents in where appropriate.

Steve - let me add my welcome.

It's a cool feeling to umpire with your kid! I hope I can get 20+ years out of it like you have!

That much of a reach is bad enough, but explaining it just for Mike - aaaggghhhh !
