Because, to quote Madeleine K. Albright, "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." This is especially true in the super-competitive world of baseball umpiring.

For a few years, women who umpire baseball all over North America have discussed, from time to time, creating a way to make it easier for us to network and communicate. I hope this site is the very humble beginning of a strong and lasting virtual place for us to come together and share ideas and stories, ask questions, find mentors, and have fun. This is a "wiki" site, which means members are welcome to edit or add pages, photographs, links, and so on.

Of course, our umpire brethren are welcome to join in, too! All are welcome here, as viewers, members, and contributers.contributors.
