If your team is attending Cooperstown Dream Park in 2023 and going there week 10, July 21 – July 27; I’d like to represent your team as its sponsored umpire for the week! Fully vaxed for what it's worth as well! I have attended CDP yearly since 2001; I am within driving distance so I do not have any flight costs, and can hopefully work out a sponsorship fee within your team’s budget! If my one week availability does not match yours, I may still be able to help you! I have many umpire friends that attend CDP throughout the year that I know would be glad to work with you as well as I would! I can be reached at the email address listed below! Thank you for your consideration! Scuzzy.Feller@comcast.net

2 thumbs up to all... Scuzz

I have this mask as part of my rotation...and normally will use it if the weather is risky of being WET... Lightweight and takes a pretty good shot...spins right off when adjusted right... I rotate with my All Star HSM and a Force 3 v2... Respects!

Shouldn't that be...say...the "Peach Palace"....??? Just sayin... Annie will be there with us week 4....I'll run that by her too... Scuzz

Touche` Scuzz

Week 4 with about 15 or so of my nearest and dearest umpire family.... Scuzz

Jax....you've seen my weekly "Traveling Umpire Show" FB posts....I swear by it for the past 2 + seasons anyway.... BLESSED ARE THOSE..... Scuzz

Great value here... https://www.ump-attire.com/Baseball-Umpire-Equipment/Gear-Footwear/Shin-Guards/A3417-CHA_Wilson-Pro-Platinum-Umpire-Shin-Guards?id=506 Scuzz

Any issue I may have had with All Star has been worked out satisfactorily... They've helped me with out of warranty issues...even an out of state umpire friend...in their area for a family function...walking in with his broken HSM...and they replaced it on the spot... Just because "we are" in MASS...heck...we don't talk funny....everybody else does... Best to all... Scuzz

Dangling throat guard will be fine...don't go with the "goalie collar"...others have told me it may hinder the on/off off the mask the way we use it as umpires... Scuzz

Too bad it was a glass eye...[insert "rim shot" here...] Jax...Thanks for the link to his obit...which I will share here... http://obits.syracuse.com/obituaries/syracuse/obituary.aspx?n=ronnie-c-cook&pid=170898580&fhid=11696 Scuzz

To those who have been to CDP the past 2 seasons with Ron as U.I.C: Ronnie passed away this morning! R.I.P our friend! Scuzz

I've used these the past several seasons... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Player-Smoke-Anti-Fog-Lens-Safety-Glasses-Sunglasses-Z87-1-/290926315028?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43bc8f4614 these are NICE for night games/major OVERcast days as well... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Player-Yellow-HD-Night-Driving-Anti-Fog-Lens-Safety-Glasses-Sunglasses-Z87-/291091435665?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43c666d091 buy more than one pair...pay for shipping ONCE... Scuzz

I've still got 2 Logo Athletic Shirts...they're old...but damn...they're still in great shape...no color distortion...a little heavy...so I'll use them to cooler weather when I still have to wear navy... My logo is on the NECK though... Scuzz

Captured in Richmond, VA http://www.thedailystar.com/localnews/x1956139894/Cooperstown-gunman-Renert-captured-in-Virginia Happy Holidays! Scuzz

TV link appears to be removed...here's the Daily Star Newspaper from Oneonta... http://www.thedailystar.com/localnews/x1005131849/Shooter-at-large-in-Cooperstown Scuzz

For those who attend CDP regularly...we've all made friends up there... Cooperstown friends are reporting this activity centered around Seventh Inning Stretch....one of my regular stops each season...hope everyone is going to be all right... http://www.wktv.com/news/local/Sever...237019151.html Respects all, Scuzz

http://www.ump-attire.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=A048P&Category_Code=UMPIRE-INDICATORS&Product_Count=2 Kind of like the "Day Glo" Green...really don't need the innings...but I like the feel of this shape in the hand more than the straighter ones... Scuzz

Your chin should be snug to the chin pad...forehead comfortably touching that padding as well... Scuzz

Chin pad is probably an out of stock leather one....I've still got an unused one...or it's a combo vinyl and whatever the skin side fabric is.... Love my All Star HSM...I'm on my 4th one from the MVP2000, 2200, 2500.... Just want the OLDER STYLE chin pad with the new unit... Scuzz That's not a stock All-Star chin pad...I wonder what it is.

All hard shells take time to break in... I have the WV Plat and have had it for over 10 years... Last season I was afforded a good deal on the All Star S7 CP... It does feel different...but I'll work it in as I did initially with my WVP! My major concern was the hard plastic at my neck...but I wrangled one of those "wing pads" between the inner padding and the plastic... and fastened it down onto the plastic with velcro...seems to help quite a bit...a design flaw as far as I'm concerned... Scuzz

Unless you break to end plastic tips off...??? I don't see the All Star Flex Harness working with the WVP! No...I've used the WVP for years...mine is in its 11th season...it DOES NOT SAG!!! Get the upper straps as TIGHT AS YOU CAN... If you can find a cobbler [those OLD guys that still do shoe repair] or an upholsterer...GREAT!!! [stand by...we'll get to this part later] Industrial strength VELCRO on each strap...but before putting the strips on...add a little SUPER GLUE to them... then place them where you need them to be on the harness... Don't run the straps or attach them [fold them through yet]...let them sit and dry for about an hour... IRON those velcro strips on a setting warm enough...but not hot enough to melt the velcro...or the vinyl straps... Let 'em cool down...then run the straps through as normal...and connect the velcro sides.. THAT SHOULD do it... The cobbler/upholsterer comes in IF... If you don't want to use the iron... Take the harness to them and have them SEW the glued on velcro strips right to the harness... Now the damn thing isn't moving worth a damn!! My local guy charged me $10.00...took him about 5 minutes to do it... Scuzz

So week 3 and week 5??? Week 4?? Scuzz
