Busy, Busy, Busy - Now Go Play Ball

Wow, the months of March and April flew by way too fast. With all that I had going on between umpiring school, work, and now actually umpiring games these last to months, it seems like only yesterday it was March first.

As an update:

I passed both my baseball and softball umpiring exams. Baseball with a 99%, and softball with a 92%. I can tell you that the softball test was much harder due to the many differences in the rules between the two sports, and trying to keep them separate in my head. Since I was scheduled to take the baseball exam first, I didn't look at softball for the week and a half prior to the exam.

Just Call Me Blue

For the last month and a half, I've been busy in taking classes to become a carded umpire for both baseball and softball. Next week is my exam for baseball and the following week, is my exam for softball. So far this season is starting off bad due to rain, and cancelled games. I've already had two games rained out on me. I'm hoping I can finally get on the field to umpire.

I'll keep you posted on how I do on my exams, and how my games turn out. Also, If I can get a picture of me in full gear, I'll post that for all to laugh at.

Let me know if you are interested in umpiring, and I'll send you some links to get you started.
