Going to Atlanta this weekend, too and most likely skipping Baltimore. I umpired out there for a while. Worked for Blue, so I know a bunch of the old IBUA guys and have worked with guys from Big Apple and North Shore over the years. Blue sort of merged with AFU and I wasn't into the whole AFU thing. So, now made the switch to mens softball. Ump games in SI only. Should have made the switch a long time ago. games are about 65-75 minutes, 85 minute time limit. Best of all, I just have to wear a mask and little soccer shin guards.
I've welcomed you before Coggs, but now that I know you are another fellow NYer and a HS official, consider yourself welcomed again.
I have been umpiring HS baseball in the Queens and Long Island area for almost 40 years. We probably know many of the same people.
Why don't you try and make one of our functions. We are doing a sort of tailgate and watching the Giants/Bengals game at one of our people's homes in November. Why not try and attend. Guaranteed you'll have a great time, just stay away from Jaime (LOL)
