****NEW PHOTOS and Prices added in "blue-green" font. More to come - Feel free to make reasonable offers **** Hi everyone, ... it's been a long long time and the 2025 season was my first not umpiring since 2010. I thought I'd miss it, but it was very nice for a change, plus, my job responsibilities now would not have allowed me to work much if not at all. This is a "teaser" post for what I'll be putting up. Message me for interest. Specific details, prices and photos will follow, so please be patient. If you're a gear whore and want to make an offer on something, I'll listen. I haven't even done much research yet to see what things are going for, but here's a start: All Star Mag - Originally silver - now more of a gray due to fading (typical).

Yes, it is an All-American. Cool to say that Nic was an instructor of mine at camp (for many years) to the point where I could call him a friend

Sorry, late to the party!! What you did right? You gave him a chance. What you did wrong? I would have done something like this (which I've done before) STOP SIGN - "No, no no, Jim, ... WE ARE NOT COUNTING today, I'm not having it, STOP! If he continues, BOOM. I've found that they totally change their tone with the above. (mind you, ...you didn't necessarily do anything wrong, but the "what did you say" could have made things worse,... IMHO)

Catchers have NOTHING to do w/ the slot or not. I'd like to know who said this (paraphrased or not) ...this is hard for me to buy (no offense @SeeingEyeDog)

WOW ...... don't I know this!!!!!!! Well said my friend, well said!!!!

Michigan has certain criteria that needs to be met: Submit your schedule (certain number of games required) Be a current member of an association Take the state test and pass w/ at least 80% (I think) Watch/listen to the General Rules meeting and sport specific meeting Be a registered official for that school year The rest is just politics🙄

If you need to spend more money on a hard shell chest protector ...this story should be the one that encourages that. Regardless of the level ... better protection is ALWAYS a good idea

Thats' AI, is it not?

I'm not aware of any code that has any rules as to how a player should 'wear a glove' ......

No, I didn't say that. Plus, ... if the play happens at the base, you have a different scenario as well. See @noumpere's response ....

Pop ups are allowed in NCAA .... at the base.... this slide happened way before the base and he popped up interfering with the throw (I'm assuming that would work?) 🤔

I'm not 100% sure in OBR, but ....... here and NFHS, that's an easy one

it's used in football to keep track of the downs (if I understand it correctly) .... that's Bruce Dreckman
