i heard about an ump this past weekend, probably the same one...
we had a similar situation last year, and it got worse as the day went on...
but even worse is we had a couple of 11 yr old girls in our stands and the ump kept coming to the fence in between innings and talking to them...creepy...
i might be in the minority, but when it comes to umpires AND coaches, i think any alcohol should be consumed AFTER the games/practices are done, away from the fields...and believe me, i practice that theory!
Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.
