Has anyone attended the Cooperstown Dreams Park and in the process I guess you are required to bring one umpire. So how does this work? Just ask around to see who would like to go? I guess its free once you are there as an ump its just getting them there, maybe offering to pay for their gas I don't know. Anyone with experience on this I would appreciate your input
Best of luck with this. You will have to find an umpire whose ego drives his common sense into the ground. An umpire who believes this is a big deal to call baseball in Cooperstown. Who likes to bunk up like he is back in the military and get paid squat for the privilige. Look to get old umps with nothing better to do, young umps with stars in their eyes.
As I said, best of luck. You should have no problem finding such candidates in the umpiring ranks.
