I can't say for sure, you'll need to call one of the numbers listed for details, but I'm guessing it will because they say they NEED umpires.

Hopefully, they will train new umpires that they are not "THE SHOW", like some that umpire now.
Also, someone please tell some umpires that the bow tie is not approved by the KHSAA to be worn with a baseball umpires uniform.

I couldn't help but laugh at your comment, Old Timer, you see the instructor for the class is Mr. Bowtie. But your point is well taken:thumpsup:
