Some other web sites I have visited that have many links are umpnews.com, and stevetheump.com, they have many articles and access to all the rule books both are pretty all encompassing for the umpire world. good spots to visit to bone up for the season.

[Umpire in Chief]

Thanks For joining Chris32 & Ump81, and everybody else.

I hope you will add us to your regular places to visit. And be sure to refer your friends to Umpire-Empire.

I am new to this site and it looks very good so far.

[semperfiguy]

I am also new to this site, but it seems real nice. Always great to visit a new site and get a fresh perspective on different opinions from other officials. thanks again!!

Just did the initial registration (haven't completely set up my profile yet) and wanted to say 'hi' to fellow board users. I'm not actively umpiring now because I am working on my Master's Degree. However, I do miss being on the field and may seriously try to get back onto the diamond after my classes are all done. I'd like to keep up with developments in the game, but will confess to mostly not wanting to miss any good EJ stories.

Thanks.

Glad to have you Phillip. I'm sure as the season continues there will be some interesting EJ stories. But I must say my goal is to have none this year.

[Chris32]

Looking forward to getting back to posting. Tar heel have you invited some of the other guys from the other site we are on???

[Umpire in Chief]

Chris, welcome back.

I'm trying to spread the word every way I can to draw the crowds in. I am planning a "Shameless Self Promotion Tour" shortly. By posting blatant come join Umpire Empire posts onto other sites. I have been very liberal in posting links to my site which has brought a strong traffic flow here. Before I do the shameless self promotion I want to make 2 fixes to the site which I have been playing with.

Everybody's help in promoting the site is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

[LeoDev]

I found my way here from Chris32 via another site which ran into some issues.

Thank you for the site!!!!!!!

[Umpire in Chief]

Much appreciated everybody . I appreciate your making this site what it is. So keep up the good work continue to post and refer your friends.

[Dobie]

Found my way here from Rob's site. I used to post regularly at the official forum... but the need to wade through the BS became too taxing.:rolleyes:

[Umpire in Chief]

Thanks Dobie,

I intend on keeping the tone civil here. I don't mind, and actually like it, when people get fired up, but I'll draw the line at personal attacks.

We all are going to miss Robs site.

[okump96]

thanks for the invite and the site. was a pleasure learning from you and others on rob's site. can't wait to get back to it.

[Kyle_Stevens]

I also appreciate the invite to the site. This place looks great. I hope we can get some good discussions and advice here like we had on Rob's site. Look forward to it!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to say hi and thanks for another forum where we can all grow as umpires. Looks like most guys here do baseball. Hope there is room for a softball umpire around here.

[Umpire in Chief]

Definately, we have a few softball guys here. Would you like to see a Softball section here?

[LMSANS]

I do both softball and baseball for HS. I also just got my ASA qualification. So yeah, I'd like to see a softball area.

[Admin]

So yeah, I'd like to see a softball area.

Hope there is room for a softball umpire around here.

Mid-Mich. Blue

Gentlemen your request is my command... Done!

[LMSANS]

Oh sure, Now you're going to want me to post something. :eek:

Hey all,

GREAT! There goes the neighborhood!:rolleyes:

Bigdog:cool:

[Mid-Mich. Blue]

Sorry Big Dog,

Didn't mean to bring down the value of the neighborhood. Who knows, maybe the value will go up! By the way, whatever happened to being "openminded" and "just getting along". Isn't this the age of politically correctness. I would have thought there would be a kinder and gentler spirit among the brethren. Just Kidding. My best friend is a "baseball only guy" and we joke with one another all the time.

Hey guys,

Signed up a while back, just haven't been here that often. I am going to try and get here more often. Some of you guys may know me from one of the other sites. I hope this one is just as informative.

Welcome Back Bamatazz!

My goal is to make this site your first stop for any umpire related information, from the forum for rule interpretations to products and more.
