Thanks for the kind words and your offer. I'm sure I'll be asking all sorts of questions in the months leading up to and during the up coming season.
This should be for another thread but...
I wanted badly to become a rec league umpire over the summer. My job wouldn't allow that, but I'm not done trying to study this game any way I can. IMO umpiring is the best way to look inside this game. From seeing how coaches implement different strategies to watching how they act/react to their players, I can't think of a better way to learn what and what not to do. I'm fortunate to have a collegiate umpire on the boosters at the school. You may know him, but I won't say his name in public. Anyhow, he'll be a huge help, just as ya'll already are.

I happen to be a football official as well as a baseball umpire and I simply wanted to help him with a situation that he brought up. I saw the opportunity to help educate someone about the rules, that's all.
I hijacked this thread worse than Welpe...Sorry for calling you out Welpe and then doing the same thing myself.
