Umpires point of view..

[lvtwft]

Now why is it, that all the orgs(ASA,NSA,IFA,USSSA,USFA ETC) can not agree on a rule book?
Playing fastpitch, and going from one org to another every other week or so, does get a little confussing. At times I have been known to argue a ASA rule playing in IFA or so on..
Then you just feel like an idiot. Or the ump will state a rule and it is not for that org.
WHY is this still a problemo??

Geez Louize ... we can't get 14 gals to agree on where we are eating lunch ... no, correction, they would all agree on Hooters, but it ain't in the budget ...

Different strokes for different folks.
You say toe-mah-toe, I say toe-may-toe and he says tuh-may-ter.
You say poe-tah-toe, I say poe-tay-toe, he says tay-ter
