You have some excellent posts in this thread. I commend your professionalism and would love for you to umpire any game I coach anytime, anywhere, at any level.

It is not "my strike zone". It is not your strike zone. There is a clear understandable strike zone. If I were ever to coach a game with you as an umpire and I was to say to one of my hitters "He has been calling it there all day!" you really should not take that as a compliment. It is shorthand for "of course that was not a strike, this idiot does not know how to call a strike, but i have told you guys this for the last 3 innings and you still take that pitch. Hit the $#@ @*&% ball." Just thought you should know.
