IT'S ALL ABOUT THE EFFORT. JOE BLUMENAUER STARTED HIS UMPIRING CAREER RIGHT HERE ON LONG ISLAND WHEN HE TRAINED WITH EAST COAST UMPIRES. TEN YEARS AGO JOE PICKED UP HIS FAMILY AND MOVED TO TENNESSEE. SINCE THEN JOE DECIDED TO TAKE WHAT HE LEARNED HERE - CONTINUED HIS TRAINING - PUT IN THE WORK AND EFFORT AND HAS MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.

AS A RESULT, JOE HAS CLIMBED THROUGH THE RANKS AND HAS BEEN WORKING THE ACC AND BIG SOUTH CONFERENCES. THIS YEAR JOE WAS NAMED THE CREW CHIEF FOR THE BIG SOUTH TOURNAMENT HELD IN HIGH POINT, NC.

IN ADDITION, JOE WILL BE MOVING ON TO HIS FIRST NCAA D1 REGIONAL HOSTED BY GOERGIA SOUTHERN. NOTRE DAME, TEXAS TECH AND UNC GREENSBORO MAKE UP THE OTHER THREE TEAMS. GAMES START FRIDAY AND WITH ANY LUCK, WE MAY GET TO CATCH A GAME OR TWO ON ESPN.

WE ARE EXTREMEMLY PROUD OF ONE OF OUR OWN AND WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE HAD HIM AS PART OF OUR ECUA FAMILY.

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CONGRATULATE ONE OF OUR FAMILY.

Crew,

We hope you and your families are safe, healthy and enjoying the holiday season.

Don't forget our 2022 class starts on January 24th. All rules meetings will be held via ZOOM, and we are already planning for a busy year. So, now's the time to jump into umpiring.

Looking forward to 2022……

BOS College League & Blue-Chip College League are combining, Perfect Game has signed a new contract, BOS and Stan Musial are continuing to grow and there are a lot of other new and exciting things happening across the Island. We expect 2022 to be another busy season and will have more good news to come.

We value your credentials and continue to be fully committed to our members. We are already approaching leagues about improving the working conditions in light of the umpire shortage. We all have to work together because we are all in this together.

We also want to congratulate ECUA members Brett Thompson and Tim Nolan on making it to the college ranks.

For now, please enjoy the holidays and your time spent with family. We will keep you abreast of relevant news and transactions in the coming months.

Frank, Rich and Chuck

Watch the video - This is a 3-Umpire crew, so the mechanics are different, but the fundamental principle of staying with the play and most importantly staying with the ball are critical.
