Umpires have it good. They take in the game, they have an opportunity to instruct and guide today’s youth as they become tomorrow’s stars, and they have the opportunity to make good pay.
Sure, some umpires have it tough as the only umpire in a non-partner game, but it’s nothing the right positioning and angles can’t correct.
On the topic of rules, has anyone noticed any changes on rules that would have major impact to umpires from last year?
