  • Why Umpire?

    Umpires are essential to softball. What is softball when there is no umpire? Well, it's called practice. The game is that time when all actions, along with any scores, records or accomplishments, are official. They are official because they are played in competition using the universally accepted and uniformly applied rules of softball and are witnessed and validated by a representative of Softball, the umpire. The umpire makes the game the special event that all ball players treasure.
