A couple of interesting things.....

I was sitting at home watching Disney channel with my kids yesterday afternoon when they played one of their little snippets about kids and their hobbies.

Lo and behold, the feature was about a 15-16 year old girl that was an ASA softball umpire! I did not catch her name or where she was from, but they showed quite a bit of footage of her working younger girls FP games and interview pieces. She said all of the right things about knowing the rules and showed her practicing signals in front of her bedroom mirror. In the footage shown, her signals looked good and the uniform was proper. All in all, a good piece and a positive look at umpiring.

Secondly, I have been invited to Park City, UT next week to work the Triple Crown FP World Series. 14u, 18u, and Summer College teams. Several Southern Califonia, Arizona, Texas teams. Should see some good ball and cool weather. Updates when I get back.
