Fellow umpires, the LLWSUAA is holding their summer fundraiser. We had 2 tickets donated for game 1 and 2 tickets for game 2 of the 2026 MLB World Series. You pay for travel and lodging, but for a $20 donation, you get 1 entry into the drawing ($50 = 3 chances, $100 equals 7 chances) for a seat AT the game. If you have umpired ANY LLWS and are not currently a member of the association, please reach out to me so we can get you signed up. https://llwsuaa.org/product/world-series-ticket-donation/ ~AA

I have. However, mine was only 2 levels. C5-6 and C6-7. Force 3 mask is my best friend now.

Just to be curious and not a smart @$$ {this time)..... Have you looked in the rulebook?

SWMBO has been appointed as the interim District Administrator (for our District) until the June election. I tagged along for the LL International congress in Indianapolis. While touring the vendor displays, who does one meet??? Our very own @DerekGDS. Great guy! He stopped what he was doing to chat a little and it was nice to put a face to a name. P.S. He's a lot taller than he sounds on UE.

look at it this way......once they get there, the safety bag disappears

As a "Dual Knee Replacement" recipient, I can HIGHLY suggest something that had worked for me. Walk on a treadmill .....BACKWARDS. Someone had mentioned this to me years ago, and it worked. Something all medically scientific and stuff about how it helps to strengthen the jigaments and tendonloins around the knee.

DO you feel like you are trying to make up something to explain an incorrect call? It has been explained, it has been copied and pasted from the rules. Stop MSU and umpire. Live, laugh, toaster bath!

USMC 85-96

because MOST coaches are clueless themselves

I'm thinking you may want to reach out to Tony (great guy!) and ask him. Or, just tell him to make it the same color as the titanium mask. I'm sure that you won't be disappointed.

Noooooooo, really? Say it isn't so!

Well, there IS such a person......and I know him. @Umpire Santa 🤣

We can argue semantics all day long. I just copied and pasted Giamatti's statement from when it was published.
