Honest Men

In showcase baseball, I guess there is a lot of trust involved. You deal with a lot of unknowns. U meet good people, u meet bad. However, the best you can hope for is honest people. If you pay your money, you expect your games and u expect them at decent facilities. If you work aka umpire for an organization, you expect to be paid on the last day or within 3 days of last day. In Eastern NC, I know of 3 groups that put on tournaments and events and they handle business. I have worked often for Richard Sarmiento aka Stretchy, and he has always paid last day or I had my check that Tuesday. Never a deviation from the norm. I would work a Tee Ball game for Stretchy. I have worked for JEff MAynard and he paid last day as he said he would. And Ive worked for AP and I got mine 2 days later as promised. If you notice, theres one supposedly important group not mentioned on this post. I have gotten such a run around from them that i promise, i will NEVER work for them again. If you need to wait 2 weeks to pay me, fine, just be honest and tell me. Dont continually lie and try to bullshit me.
