[FearNot]

Saying hello and thanks to everyone for the this great site. I have been umpiring baseball and softball for 14 years. I took and passed my state tests last year for HS baseball and softball. I have been doing HS games the last few weeks and I'm loving it!

 

The name FearNot is from the town I was raised in. I also use it for my game call business that I make deer & turkey calls etc.

 

I got started when my son was 8 and they would hand select a sucker in the crowd who wouldn't run away when the coaches would walk out to the crowd to seek a volunteer to umpire. I loved it and it all started from there 14 years ago. I waited until my youngest graduated last year to take my state tests as I didn't want to miss any of her games. 2 weeks after her last HS game I took my softball test and then I took my baseball test in September.

 

I must admit though, that I'm an equipment junkie!
