Picked up a gig today for two other teams in my son's league. This is the first time he won't be on a team I'm umping. I've learned so much since I last umped that I can't wait to put it to good use.

good luck!....I'm sure you will find it better to umpire games not including your son.....
- No question from anyone about bias
- You get to watch your son play
- You get to celebrate his successes
30 years of Goodwill Series International baseball, watching umpires in Japan, Korea, Australia and at our Area Code games. The best story is from Ron Luciano "Umpire Strikes Back".
During a series in Detroit, Luciano was home plate umpire in Detroit and Nolan Ryan
is pitching. Ryan 1st fast ball exploded [in the eyes of Luciano]. Ron is worried he may need glasses. Actually, he was out late the previous night.
Luciano learns over the catcher. "can you call the pitches"
