Collegiate Summer Baseball Invitational

Is anyone watching this on ESPN2? I'm so glad to have current, live baseball that I am.

Does anyone know who is umpiring these games, and how they got this sweet assignment?

I could be wrong but it looked like a local association logo on their hats. 
 

Besides being on TV, I’m not sure how sweet it would be to only be allowed to be at the hotel or ballpark for an entire week.

Ha! That's a fair point. I guess at this point I feel like ANY assignment would be sweet!  :P

I was just in Amarillo and Texas citizens are nowhere near doing anything resembling sheltering or wearing masks.  It's full bore pre covid 19 right now.  And if you are in Amarillo eat the cheeseburger at Bubba's 33, possibly the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten in my life.

We're going through Amarillo in a few weeks on our way to Oklahoma to visit the grandkids. We always stop at the Big Texan. Most times we are there, some poor sap is trying to eat the 72 ounce steak challenge. Quite entertaining!

May have to try Bubba's 33, too!

lol.  Aside from the saphow is the food?  Forgot to mention that Bubba's onion rings are really good, too. Fries as well.

The food is good, better than any chain steakhouse, cool atmosphere. They have family style table, booths, and upstairs seating. It's a huge place, fun to go to. Should be on everyone's bucket list when traveling through Amarillo!

Everyone involved with this tournament was tested on June 1st when they arrived and they can only be at the park or hotel... that is according to the tournament organizers

Sorry to revive this. Anyone else super annoyed that we all got teased with live baseball, only to have it ripped away by being told the only televised games were that night and the rest of the tournament was pay per view?

Yeah.  I wasn't too happy about it.
