The reason for making my blogs URL Dade City Blue, was because of my "hobby" of umpiring Little League games, So I figured it was time to write something associated with it.
The regular season is over, and TOC is going on, All Stars should be coming up soon, and I'm starting to think about what I will do, as far as all that goes. If I should umpire in All Stars, or just enjoy my newly found free time, since school is out. I somewhat enjoyed umpiring during the regular season, I only had a couple of rough games, where the coaches showed their true colors, and were jerks. I would MUCH rather be at practice or playing in a game then umpiring it. Come to think of it, I would rather stay home and watch the Devil Rays on TV.
People ask, "Then why do you do it??" , I'm still not sure.... Somewhere between those (very few) fans who say "Thank you, good job, Blue" , the great need for umpires in DCLL, and my Mom's encouragement to continue , and stick through, even when its not so fun. I manage to forget the game the night before, and whatever bad that happened in it, and come out, with my mind fresh and ready for the next game.

You're doing a great job, Andy. I'm very proud of you.
Meeting men who are 2x your age, but act 1/2 of it is truly an eye-opening experience. I think it's good for you to see that.
Mom.
Andy, you did a wonderful job umpiring this past season!
Great job. Thanks for the pictures, Andy. Anything you put on here will be looked at! Is the top picture something you see from your view point? Like the field in front of your house?
Just curious. Thanks for starting this blog. I'll check in periodically.
