Would like a DVD set. I know Virtual Umpire Camp CD is recommended, but it has the 2010 rules, plus I do not have a PC.? Can anyone recommend UmpireTeacher videos? http://www.umpireteacher.com/productcatalog.html

That would be an interesting question to pose in a voting box. Personally, I'm in it for the love of the game. The money is a nice bonus plus it buys the additional umpire equipment. I have my wish list from the best equipment forum. My guess would be the people umping for the money would be less than 25%. Very curious...

I am new to the site and I just finished my first season in Little League/Teeners. I just got into a High School chapter in PA and they said I will be able to ump plenty of games this year. I am also interested in NCAA ball. What advice/recommendations can you all give about going the NCAA direction.

Great article. Good insight for me about reading the reactions of the players if you are unable to see 100% of the play.

Hello. I'm Bob, from Carlisle PA, and have just started my umpire journey. This was my first season and I am hooked. I got an umpire "high" when I was a field ump in a Legion game. Nothing like being in the field. The fast plays and an extreme adrenaline rush. While stationed in Iraq, a very good friend, Lynn Primeaux, got me a book about umpiring, You're the Umpire: 139 Scenarios to Test Your Baseball Knowledge. I love the book and I had a lot of questions after that. I have a great mentor ump in the local area and I cannot wait to have my first rules clinic in February. It is killing me to wait this long. I look forward to learning more from this forum and have really appreciated the equipment blog. I would love a DVD for an iMac/apple. Was bummed about the umpire DVD that was listed on the equipment area that was only for PC. Look forward to learning more, Bob in PA
