Missouri Umpire Introduction

[moblue]

Hello all. I've been lurking on this forum and one other for a while now, and finally decided to go ahead and register. This site has already given me tons of useful information and some great stories that have left me laughing.

A little about me. I'm a college student in Southeast Missouri that has been umpiring since I was about 14 years old. I got certified by the National Umpires Association at the age of 15 (or maybe 16? I never keep up with things like that... sorry!). Just this year I got certified for Fed. and called my first HS game a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say I've found yet another level of ball I like to call.

The reason I finally decided to register? I have a question which I'll be posting momentarily in the "Rules" section.

Welcome aboard, what's the National Umpire's Assoc?

Glad to have you here.

Thanks guys. The National Umpires Association is what Babe Ruth League uses for their umpire certification. They are OBR and that's what our local (non-chartered) youth league played closest too at the time I initially got certified.
