I hope that guys name was smith.....

as for vanity plates ive never been a big fan for umpires.........probably not a good idea to call out your vehicle to irate fans.....I do have a good buddy who has "lv to ump" and he hasnt had any ill effects.............the only one I would consider is "901 C" ............only the educated would get that......

I've kicked around getting "DIDEGO" as we only get 6 spots in my state.

I'm not a fan either.

For the obvious reason of possibly making yourself a target and also because I subscribe to the "don't draw attention to yourself" philosophy of umpiring.

As long as you don't screw up on the field, ...what difference does your license plate make?:rolleyes:

Perfect as we may try to be, one day you may eject a kid and that jerk kid may seek out your car and do damage to it. It actually happened to a member in our association. The PU ejected a kid in a game. The BU, who had shirts hanging in the backseat, found his car vandalized after the game.

1) see Forrest Ump's reply

and

2) I guess the other part is philisophical - to each his own - to me, I still like the "anonymous" mode.

Maybe it's just my local experiences, but the few people I know with Umpire Vanity plates (and one with a Huge "Ump on Board" window decal ) are the ones that always come up with questionable ejections, obscure rule enforcements, etc. - OK, not always, but you get my drift...;)

Hey, if you see that plate again, call the law. That's my car, somebody stole it.

I guess I'm stupid, I'm not getting that one.

[LeoDev]

It took my awhile, but I think is:

"TENNIS ANYONE"

Don't worry I am stupid also!

One of our own in Maine used to hae "YER OUT" for a plate.

FYI....I prefer anonymity as well.
