(First of all, before I get into this: I am not a player or coach, so this is not crying cause one team lost or one team's fans are brutal or anything like that. Honestly, I hope this opens the eyes of more than just the casual reader of TBR)

There are some things that happened this year that need to be addressed. And honestly, there are 20,000 emotions I have right now and one is rage toward Legion baseball's higher ups.

Actually, you have no reason on earth to believe me, but I am telling the truth to what was said to me:

Jerry Hudson is the director of umpires of Area 4. He is/was also on the Cherryville town council. It was said to Caldwell County coaches less than 5 games into the season (by another umpire no less) that this is Cherryville's year. The umpires have been told to "get on their train."

In the series, Hudson was calling to let both coaches (Reynolds and Caldwell Coach Hamby) the umpires. All of a sudden, the calls stopped for Coach Hamby. Gee, wonder why?

Caldwell County video taped Game 7 of their series with Cherryville because they were alerted that an umpire was looking in on the catcher or in the pitcher's glove and calling the pitches for the Cherryville players/manager Bobby Reynolds. Being at the game I can tell you right now that I believe it to be true. So watch for it from either the first base umpire or second base umpire. I wish I knew who all is "on the train", but I am warning you go to a series every time as a catcher.

Now honestly, I hope I am wrong. This would shake legion basbeall down to its CORE. But I think I am right.

Also, be leary of one Area Commish Bill Murray. I feel he did whatever he could to distract Caldwell County coaches and players. In one game (game 3) he stood in the Caldwell County dug out and cussed (yes cussed) Coach Gary Hamby and his staff for what he said Coach Hamby embarrassed him by pointing up to the pressbox. If it was so bad, why not throw him out? Or suspend play and rip Hamby a new rear-end. Murray wanted to let everyone know he was in charge. (By the way, he is a member of Caldwell County's Legion. I think it was so important to show everyone in attendance he wasn't with Caldwell.) The game was halted until people could get him out of the dugout.

Guys .... I think this thread line has served it's purpose (if it had any) ..... Consider it closed.

Further challenges won't solve any situation or shed any more light on the topic.
