FF:SA UPDATES AND SCORES

Exactly my point. I love footy ... and love umpiring it. Get to watch it REALLY close (sometimes too close ). Knowing the rules does help when watching it on TV sometimes.

 

Glimpsing past this thread I couldn't help but notice... it may be a bit old now, but hey Toddi, did/do you umpire in baseball games? ...or was it just the footy?

I just had a go at baseball myself this season (usually a tennis man). My neighbour got me involved and it's a very interesting game. I never knew there was a rule on the third strike out that enabled you to run if you swung and the catcher missed the ball. I stood there dumbfounded as every shouted out "RUN!!".

 

I have played baseball before. Was a fill in for A-D's team last year. It was fun, wouldn't mind doing it again this year.

I have umpired baseball at school level ... but never higher. My sport for umpiring is Aussie Rules football. I'm a Level 2 accredited field umpire (yep, the one who's getting yelled at the most), and Level 2 accredited goal umpire. Level 4 accreditation is AFL standard, but I'm too old for that now.

Won't be umpiring this year, but hopefully next year.

I must admit also to being lost in the rules of baseball somewhat too! Tis fun though!

 

Oh, cool. Field umpiring for AFL would definitely keep your fitness up.

Most sports are good fun. Cheers!

 

well we lost again last night but it was to an "A" grade team....

we have been placed back into the third grade team for this season....we will see how it goes
