We started out as a group of Special Forces (Delta, L.R.R.P., SOG,
etc) and later banded together as mercenaries. During our experiences
especially in Panama, we engaged locals in baseball. Most of us were
accomplished ball players (collegiate and up).
There is a required discipline, sometimes courage in many of our
officiating situations. Not everyone treats umpires as well as
Americans. lol
We now number more civilians than ex-military.

I umpire MSBL, know what that is? Very high level amateur ball full of
ex-pros and collegians.
Send money.

If it is Mens' Senior, yes I do. The players we officiate are of equal
caliber with many now professional players from the Caribbean isles.
Corporate sponsored and employed to play Inter Caribbean ball
including Panama and (hopefully) SE/South Florida.
There are a lot of the travel adult teams who are MABL teams/players.

If I send an email to you, do I get a packet?

No. If you forward your general area of the country, or umpire
group(s), we have IBOO officials who can make contact with you.
Typically, we will first contact an official in your area who knows
your work, physical capabilities, etc. If we have interest, then we
make available to you our contact info as well.

I think I know one or two of your guys, they also work semi pro ball
and college. Or high school too I don't know.

Yeah, MABL/MSBL and Roy Hobbs. I have heard of this, the MxBLers are
bitching up a storm!

Where are you located?
Mxyzptlk
They have lost several players to this new, international competition.
The players are only gone for a week or two at a time, the Senior
season is six-eight months.
In turn, IBOO returns excellent OBR officials but we only take
excellent, physically prepared officials in the first place !!

La, Fl and SC but I am speaking of my nephews in GA

No South Carolina ppl in IBOO (yet) but several from Valdosta, North
Atlanta, Chattanooga TN.
Linton Yarbrough
Wil, thanks for the info, I will pass yours along to my SC Head
Umpire. He should be able to meet your qualification guidelines but
the ban on tobacco and booze would sink me right off :0)
Mxyzptlk
+1 Linton.
The qualifications are very strict but the jobs are extremely
rewarding and the pay is untouched by anything we know of
internationally.
