    An umpire in our association is working it. He is the first one ever for our group to make it.

    That's really cool.

    I just noticed your profile. When did Lenny die?

    Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.

    Last October of a heart attack.

    He was a pain in the ass to work for but he did make many of us great umpires.

    That's too bad.

    Yeah, I almost worked for him one year, but I think I ended up playing travel ball instead. He was really good friends with my Uncle and I heard plenty of stories about him.

    My goodness, did the Gators ever crap out. Worst baseball I've seen us play in years.

    Good thing is, our team is all FR and SO. We'll be back next year, hopefully with different results.

    Just got back from Omaha last night and can report it was one of the coolest trips I have ever taken. It is a baseball fan’s paradise and should be at the top of your list if you have never made the trip. You can feel the passion and energy for the game of baseball from the players, the fans and that stadium.

    We parked all four days in someone’s yard near the stadium and they couldn’t have been more hospitable. They let us set up our grill in their yard and we were able to eat and drink between the games there. We met a ton of people from all over the country who love baseball and it was a lot of fun to be a part of that. I’m really glad we were able to make it to the last year Rosenblatt because it was a great experience.
    "In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
    -Walt Whitman
