Hi Everyone. I've been lurking on this site for a couple of years now and decided to finally join. I've learned alot and enjoy the insightful comments and discussions. I've been involved in youth baseball for 12 years now, have 2 boys that still play, one in high school and one in LL Juniors. 8th year of umpiring, LL and travelball, big and small diamond.

Before I get too old and ugly, I'll be attending the 2 week Wendelstedt school this January. Always wanted to do a pro school, more of a personal quest. It's not the full 5 weeks, I doubt my body could take it, but we will be in the same 5 week course only shorter. Looking to move up to high school ball and maybe some Juco. I've done alot of local and LL Western Region training, as a student and an instructor for my local LL district.

If anyone has some insight and advice about the Wendelstedt school, I would appreciate any information.

Some of you I may know already. I rubbed elbows with Grayhawk on a few occasions. Had the priveledge of working 2 divisional games at his LL field this year.

Really enjoy the site, and I hope to contribute on occasion.

Thanks

John

Thanks Michael, I really enjoy your posts. They are always well written, thoughtful, and insightful.

I should probably explain my nickname and avatar. A good umpire friend of mine has called me JonnyCat for years. It has kind of caught on for some of my friends. One day my umpire buddy was cleaning out a storeroom in his dry cleaning business and found an old bag of JonnyCat litter. Realizing that it was a perfect logo for me, he e-mailed me a picture, and the rest is history!
