dude im in the same boat as you. i had one game at 1230 today. the kids are skill-less! but everyone starts somewere. but for, i ump the 9-10 and the 11-12 year olds. and i get 23 dollars a game. last weekend i had two games in a row and i was done by 1230. its very easy money! but sometimes the job is super borring.
today there was an austistic kid on the visiting team. I think its super nice of the city to let him play but its just not fair. when the kid had to go bat, the father had to walk with him, when the kid played the feild (nothing but right feild) the father had to go with him. i had to call time twice because the boy took off his shoe and his father had to come on the field and tie it. The little boy also was inlove with pulling his dads hair allong with his teamates which was not okay. i understand that the kid has problems, but he just can physically harras other kids. hard by the kid though for wanting to get out there and hard by the city for allowing him to experiance the joy of baseball
