  • umpiring is not the place for drama

  • @awsomerey101 hat on straight and forward all the time. the game has rules, umpires have mechanics that are our rules, small bill (6 stitch) hat for plate, regular bill (8 stitch) for bases, and yes it is important. you are representing the game of baseball first, your individuality is a distant second.

  • @TonySiani Hey smart guy, obviously its a dramatization.

  • turn that hat around..

  • keep pressing 4 lol

  • @washnton23 Then truly, I wish to umpire kids' games where you do, where parents do not get angry simply because the call went against their team. No parent wants to see their child called out, especially when it's close and even when it's not. I find that a little less than one-in-ten parents are the extremely vocal, spit-in-your-face kind when it's their child up to bat or on base.

  • @VincentWinkler  I've been umpiring longer than you have been alive. We are not going to have this conversation. :)

  • @washnton23 Sounds like you've never been an umpire. Or, rather, you've been the angry parent.

    Not that this guys is particularly good at etiquette.

  • Obviously you have ZERO umpire training of any sort..The first thing, Mr. Umpire..never, ever, wear your hat turned around in the field. You would be laughed out of my association.

  • wait wait wait "its ok to roofie your own team" am i missing something? 1:32
