"Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work." - Peter Drucker. For the Love Umpired for a couple of teams last night. Both lets just say did not meet "Varsity Standards" rag tag, and for the most part many of the players told me at one point or another that it was their first or second year playing. What really caught me off guard besides the lack of knowledge of the rules, was how all of them knew that they were not going to go pro, or even past high school.
