How is everyone doing? I asked that, knowing that I shouldn't worry about a response. What have Susan I been up to since we got back from New York? Alot of choirs needed to be caught up with. Mowing the lawn, cleaning house, hmmm going boating. Oh we did have a solid week of umpiring for me and score keeping for Susan as Cal Ripkin Southeast Regional Tournament was held here in town. Teams from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virgina as well as couple teams from South Carolina. very good baseball was played. Part of being a umpire for some of these tournaments is that the directors will come around and ask us umpires who we would vote for, for the Sportsmanship Award. We all gave them our vote, I can't even tell you who won. I can tell you who didn't win and who didn't get a single vote. That is the host team West Ashely team. The kids were great, the parents for the most part were good, but the Manager of the team was to put it simply was awful. He is the only one that I heard of to get a warning from any of the umpires. After his team was eliminated from the Tournament he came back out the next night and stood to one side of the field by the backstop and started to bad mouth the umpires. What in the world was he doing there giving the umpires a hard time. Anyway I just thought it really looked bad for the host team to act that way.
Susan and I are headed back out to water this coming weekend. Anyone want to go and get wet?
