    Let’s admit it, an umpire’s job is not easy. Players, coaches, and spectators expect umps to be flawless. Every decision, whether it is a pitch or a play at the plate, is subject to scorn. For any close call, half the crowd cheers and the other half jeers. Despite what some may think, it takes…

    All season long, I’d hoped to drive north for a Dairyland League Baseball (DLB) and I finally got the chance in my schedule.
