Umpiring at the Jake!

I'm looking for a partner to work with me at Jacobs Field in Cleveland, now known as Progressive Field, on Saturday May 29th and Sunday May 30th. We'll be working a two-umpire rotation for games with adult players that have time limits of two hours, fifteen minutes or seven innings, whichever comes first, and that use modified pro rules, including no stealing or leading off. Pay will be $400 dollars for the two days, payable in cash before we leave on Saturday, with lunch at the facility provided both days.

Please e mail me at umpireplb@aol.com with a brief resume' and your current location. (I'll be driving to Cleveland from New York City along I-80 on Friday the 28th, and can pick up a partner along the way and drop him or her off on my way back.) If you'll need housing, the sooner you reply the better so I can book a hotel at a reasonable rate. (I got one for $49 a night.)

It will be a very low-stress and fun two days in a beautiful major league setting. Please reply asap.
