Actually, I start every year with telling the new umpires that we are all there for one reason or another, but whether it is because you enjoy the game or need the money, there is no reason not to do your best to do it right, with the correct mechanics, hustle, uniform & equipment.
Of course, there are what I call "greens" that are there solely for the money. They shortcut anywhere they can and still get plenty of games. That is because the better umpires will avoid leagues/conferences/tournaments where the players and coaches are known to be a little on the aggressive side. So, you know where the greens end up?
IMO, no matter why you are going anything, there is no excuse for not giving 100% to do it correctly.
Agreed!......
