This was one of the summers home from college. Best umpiring story is probably when I recruited Nick to be my bases ump for a 10 year olds’ girls softball game and gave him what turned out to be bad advice on making sure you emphatically sell any close calls. Led to tears after he punched a girl out on a bang-bang play at first
This giving me flash backs of the shoving match between opposing parents in the last baseball game I ever umped, a little league World Series qualifier (way early stages, where I can promise no one had a prayer at advancing anywhere close to Williamsport).
Great story. Have you watched Yellowjackets?
