I umpired game two of the season tonight. It was for Calgary North Baseball and it was the 22u league.
It was an interesting game. I was on the bases. The final score was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 28-0 and ended in the bottom of the 5th inning due to the mercy rule, thank goodness for the mercy rule.
All in all, a very boring game. I had exactly 2 calls on the bases and they were the easiest calls one could have, the runners beat the ball to the base by at least 5 feet.
Well, it was an easy $75 anyway and the weather was gorgeous. I umpire again tomorrow, on the bases again. Cash game, I believe and I get an extra $30 in mileage as well.
I’m going to be busy umpiring since I’m off work, it’ll keep me busy and hopefully, out of trouble.
I’ve got two double headers on the weekend for Babe Ruth. I’m glad baseball season is back.
