  1. Oh sure, make it hard on the softball umpires. We don't get balks. Can you at least give us something for an illegal pitch?
  2. I bought my hex pads at www.officialgear.com, ASA's umpire gear website. It is under the section about pants, shorts, belts, etc.
  3. You're not the only geek around here. I thought that was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
  4. I understand where you are going with this now. I was just a little confused because when I have a company seminar, I physically have to go to it, which is why I was wondering why. Thanks for getting back to me, though.
  5. I am still a little confused. Is this a seminar or a webinar?
  6. No, he needs to add to it that he will form a comittee to study the matter closely and that his only means is making sure that every American has a voice.
  7. Man this one brings back memories of one of my games. I had the dish and my partner was behind first as there were no runners. Batter hits the ball over my partner's head to the outfield. I track it and call it foul as it looked to have been just to the right of the imaginary line running from first base to the RF foul pole while my partner starts pointing in fair territory.
  8. Probably the best way to go, anyhow. I have a pair of dress pants that this happened on and the damn things keep falling off. Keep in mind this is with normal every day wear and tear, not the kind we put on our gear when we are out in the ball field.
  9. I don't think we quite have that camera angle
  10. I officially became old last weekend........
  11. Today will be the first day that I've umpired in below 80 degree weather. I swear I have not strapped up for the plate this year in under 95 degree weather.
  12. I'll admit it, I'm jealous. I'd love to go, but unless I'm fired or the plant shuts down, I don't have the time for it. Just do me a favor and show them what Missouri boys are made of guys! Even if you are only part time Missouri boys or former Missouri boys!
  13. I used to catch when I'd warm up the pitcher if that counts. Otherwise, no, not until I started playing softball did I occasionally catch when not pitching.
  14. Haha....if I could find some way to pass that by the wife I'd be good, but she's been in a good mood lately, and I want to keep it that way. I don't think, "Honey, we can't go on our cruise in February because I accidentally bought a ton of umpiring gear," would pass as something that would keep her happy.
  15. That really sucks for the umpires. They join the association to get games, and when they go against the association in any way, there typically goes their games. That is the one thing I like about this area. We are told that we can go find our own games, too, but to inform the assignor when we do that way we don't have any doubled booked dates.
