A New Year, A New Baseball Season Around the Corner

Welcome to the year 2008! It is going to be a great here for this blog and for the baseball season as a whole. Now that it is January, this means that umpire clinics, game scheduling, rules interpretation meetings, and Association Meetings are just around the corner! If you live in Northern Indiana you are having a hard time thinking of baseball right now with the 1 foot + of snow on the ground, but have now fear, the snow will eventually melt and the smell of baseball will be back in the air.

For the new year on this blog, I will begin making regular posts (they will become much more regular as the season gets closer) about baseball and umpire topics that effects amatuer umpires through the course of the season. Of course, there will be opportunities for your comments and I encourage everyone to give their opinion (as long as they are on the specific topic and are clean and not defamitory). The opinions are what will set this blog apart. This will be a great forum for all umpires.

Hey I'm an amatuer baseball umpire in MN. Came across your blog - I've added it to my favorites. Looking forward to reading some posts as the year progresses.
