Nope, never hurts to ask. Umpiring is one of those things that, I think, is a great big mystery to most people. If you really want some good insight into the mindset of umpires, read Bruce Weber's As They See 'Em: A Fan's Travels in the Land of Umpires. GREAT book. Available here from Amazon.

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.
