I just umpire. That's what I've done. That's all I can do. I'm one of the fortunate ones on God's earth. I found what God meant for me to do. People ask if I like working home plate best. I just want to be between the white lines. That's where I belong, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
both convinced job knowing manager special totally umpire watching

attractive coach depending dollars less might numbers point price school staff talking thousands
The price point has to be attractive to an institution, but we're not talking about thousands of dollars or what a school might want to expend on a coach or staff member. My guess, depending on the numbers (of athletes), it would be less than $100 (an athlete).

When there's change, and people fear things, they become more dogmatic in their views. They lash out: you can see it in the media, scapegoating and penal sentencing.
