Wild stuff. My 9-5 job, my boss has each employee give a presentation on anything they like basically, my turn was last week. I did mine on youth officiating and I even went up on how to make it to college/MLB. I did a little spot on how good Hoberg is, then less than a week later, he's fired.

Thanks for that. Personally I want one, just haven't umped long enough or had any big games to justify paying for one. I do think they're sweet and can defiantly see feeling extra confident in one.

Interesting to see some grant it before the BR gets to 1st. I've done it myself until I had a coach jump me for doing it, even though he was already on the field in the BR way and nothing was happening play wise other than everyone slowly trotting to their base. I think he was just trying to pick a fight because I wasn't giving them strikes that were in the left handed batters box.

I believe I saw the coaches name in one of the video's I saw on this. I believe his alleged name is Chase (I don't remember the last name) but the poster claims the coach has been arrested before for domestic violence a couple years ago.

I saw it in a reel as well, then I saw someone post it in one of the umpire groups I'm in on FB and saw it was in our state. I'm yet to have anyone get in my face let alone touch me so I was a little surprised to see it so close to home. I've just been called the worst ump ever, (I need that shirt by the way, I saw it posted on here) I just hope that mom is sending me the plaque in the mail so I can hang it in the man cave.

I think he earned that pass. Surprised he held it in that long.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello everyone, I'm a rookie umpire, 13 games in to be exact. I love the game and being an umpire has been a lot of fun, addictive even. I stubbled across the website while searching for resources, places to umpire and communities. I'm in North Carolina, looking to expand my knowledge, get to know some of my peers and network.
