Umping

Too funny, Babe is now old enough to ump league games. It's his first real job! Too bad it seems like little league all over again, when a young player would stand in shear boredom and play with his/her hat....or the dirt.

"What did that kid say?" I really wouldn't like to warn a coach about his players!

All kidding aside, my son requested to only ump with his dad, Babe can do just bases this year and not home plate.
These pictures were taken at his only game where he worked with another home plate umpire, taken by my husband who had just come from his own game. My son filled in at the last minute.

Here is where I can tell about my son's comfort level. He is checking his clicker, all the home plate umps have one in order to keep track of the balls, outs and strikes. My son has one of his dad's older clickers. He is double checking on the home plate ump! Snicker, snicker.

First base foot shuffle......

"You can't be buttering up the ump! Can you?"

Action!
