I don't know how it works now but I had to wear a full uniform and pass some test to umpire back in the day.

I can't stand little league umpires and umpires who go out there with their hat on backwards in shorts and a t shirt. It makes the whole profession and those of us that do take umpiring seriously look bad.

Does anyone do something hands-on / physical for a living?
