Any CDP Week 13 umpires?

[grayhawk]

Heading to Cooperstown on Friday to be an umpire for week 13 at CDP. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me since I will be going with my son who is playing. What can be better than a trip to Cooperstown with my 12 year old son where he will be a player and I will be an umpire?

Once I get my crew/field assignment, I will be sure to post it here if it's on fields 1-10 (keeping my finger crossed) so you all can tear me to shreds.

Anyone else from this forum going to be there next week?

I'm here now but leaving on fri morning. Not as an umpire but as a spectator. You'll love it it's like baseball disneyworld.

Make sure you pack sweatshirt and long pants. It gets very chilly at night.

Glad to hear it - should make getting to sleep a little easier.

Definitely. Barracks have no a/c and in July it's brutal.

I thought there could be no player/umpire relatives @ cooperstown?

They need umpires. That rule is never enforced.

A couple of years ago a coach went as an umpire. Heard he only worked a couple of games. He just wanted to be with his team.

Maybe I had a bad week but four years ago I played there in July and it was unbearable in the barracks. Regardless August weather up here is beautiful. It's 72 and a light breeze right now.

Jax it was so hot in my barracks I thought I was going to sweat to death. I was in 31 and it got full sun all day long.

Never trust a guy from Florida about heat and humidity. Jax is probably used to it.

You mean you didn't have air conditioning in yours?

[grayhawk]

Well, I was assigned field 22, so no webcam for me. Hopefully I'll get a chance on Thursday. The guy I worked with yesterday was good. Looking forward to seeing how the other two on my crew work - they're fit and can move, so that's good.

Good guys in my barrack. Nobody snores. An umpire in a different barrack got booted this morning for being a drunken idiot last night. A guy that worked with him yesterday said he was an arrogant ass anyway.

It's been cool at night, so no problem sleeping. More later.

[BRUMP]

Glad you enjoying it. And if your lookin for another tale involving drunken idiots at CDP http://cdpumptales.blogspot.com/2010/09/chapter-2-rest-in-peace-longsnapper.html?m=1

Oh I meant to ask you earlier. How do you keep you mask on prepely?

[Jocko]

Rolo, I see your phone has the self-portrait option. I wouldn't use it, if I were you.

3 more booted for scamming teams out of money. They were acting as brokers, charging a large fee to be their umpire and then finding someone to do it for them for pennies on the dollar. One guy took $1,200 from a team and left after opening ceremonies (on his own).

First coach ejection of the summer yesterday. PU and BU gave him the boot simultaneously.

That's horrible. It's guys like that who give all of us a bad name. What did the coach do to get dumped?
