  1. I'm in the car on my way to a Ranger game.
  2. @ricka56 Consider it unread. You're welcome.
  3. I've never had a problem with a coach or fan while at Cooperstown Dreams Park.
  4. I'll be there weeks 5, 6, and 7
  5. Not really sure how to spell what I "say." It's loud and true. I leave no room for confusion when calling balls and strikes. I agree with @MadMax, I think it's funny when players/fans imitate my strike call. What do I care if, in their minds, they are being disrespectful? "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
  6. Middle School Teacher
  7. Wonderful time at CDP ... Glad to be home

  8. What a great man ... He will be missed.
  9. Thanks for sharing the "danger zone" image. I plan on sharing this with my association this weekend at our meeting.
  10. I'll be there weeks 6 and 7. Would love to meet any of you that happen to be there at that time.
  11. @ricka56 is that you standing in the back row, 5th from the right?
  12. F2 is my favorite guy on the field
  13. I've been to Maryland and Florida
  14. Lookin' good!!
  15. It's amazing what a person can do when they are driven. I'll give you an example, my brother works for a natural gas company in Texas. He spends the majority of his 10 hour day outside, wearing jeans, a long-sleeved denim shirt, and a welding mask while working on gas lines. He does this year in and year out; in August (105*) and in January (20*). Sounds crazy doesn't it? Working, in the Texas heat, ensuring that his last weld of the day is as good as his first. Like I said, it's amazing what a person can do when they put their mind to it.
  16. Heading to hospital ... I will be hernia free in a few short hours!!

      I bet that Hernia was caused from scissoring...

      Thinking about using a balloon during training sessions and scrimmages. Can't stand the thought of getting hit in the abdomen or groin.

      You wife told me she slipped the Doc. an extra $20 to take care of the boys while he was down there.

  18. I always ask for gear for birthdays and Christmas. When my wife asked for my wish list, I gave her explicit descriptions, web links, and retail values.
  19. Agreed. I was fortunate enough to run into my LL coach during my first year of umpiring. He explained that going to umpire training gave him a definite advantage over the other coaches in the league.
  20. Smitty - they hold their color better
  21. Good call
  22. I have a balk--not for what the umpire said--I have a balk because "move the throwing hand with ball to his back while stepping on the rubber" you can not move the ball and your pivot foot at the same time. Guys don't hurt your back throwing a ump under the bus. F1 wasn't on the rubber.
