I think I'm in it for the abuse aspect of it. I have coached for years, 24 to be exact. This is my first year of umpiring. My kids have grown, played college ball, moving on in life. Been married for 26 years. Nobody notices me anymore. I need verbal abuse! Someone to call me an idiot once in a while. Everyone at home either ignores me or likes me now, I can't figure out what went wrong, so I'm starting my journey. Being a baseball coach for as long as I have, after taking some camps and studying, I've realized I have no idea what the rules were in the game. This ought to be fun. Wish me luck!
