LOL. I have thought about umping since my son aged out and I have no desire to coach anymore.

Sorry I'll pass. Sometimes I don't know who is worse the kids or the parents. The kids I can deal with the parents get sent to the parking lot.

I hear what you're saying but one day some ump will screw it up big time and it will be a big game that will be lost because of him. I'm a traditionalist but I would hate it if an ump called one of the Cubs out on strikes with bases loaded and 2 outs in the 9th of the final game of the World Series and the ball was way out of the strike zone. I know you can't review balls and strikes but maybe the World Series could be an exception. I don't pretend to have a solution but sometimes you just got to wonder why sometimes an ump is calling high balls for one team and not the other even though it very rarely happens.
