In Over My Head?

[ajb6708]

Hello all,

 

I hope you all don't mind but I signed up to this forum not as an umpire but as league president. I have a full time job as a police officer and, like you all, love the game of baseball.  I have played the game through high school and then finally again as an adult for a 30+ league.  After playnig for a few seasons circumstances have dictated that playing was no longer feasible.  Recently, I have again made an attempt to play, however, the location in which I currently reside was limited to Adult recreational baseball.  After months of researching I find the NABA.  It has given me the chance to play again by way of starting a league in my area.  I instantly applied.  Now I am blessed with something I have never imagined; something that I could have only dreamed of - owning my own baseball league.  So now I am tasked with business duties such as accounting, marketing and advertising promotion, findig fields, managers, players and you gentlemen - UMPIRES. So, I hope that somewhere behind the mask you can find a way to understand and call me SAFE for posting on YOUR forum .  Thank you!

 

Respectfully,

 

 A.J.

Welcome! Where are you?

I am starting this league out of Martinsburg, WV and hope to build teams across the region.

Welcome!! If you read enough here, I bet you'll learn a whole new aspect of baseball you never really gave too much thought about while playing!

Feel free to post questions and situations. As far as finding umpires, talk to local HS or college umpires and see who supplies guys in your area. Remember that backing your umpires is extremely important. Do not assume they are blameless but also don't assume they are always wrong. I help run a NABF league so I have a lot of experience. PM me if you have questions.

Not sure if this is a complement or an insult!!!
