2005 Little League World Series Umpires

Each year thousands of volunteer umpires take to the field giving their time, experience and wisdom, receiving no pay and they are not reimbursed for travel expenses. Their abilities, demeanor and on-field mechanics are evaluated at virtually all levels of Little League play. At the regional tournaments, a select group is invited to officiate at the Little League Baseball World Series: the highest honor Little League can bestow upon an umpire. Appointment to the World Series Team is recognition that an umpire has reached the highest level of proficiency and now considered among the best in the world.

There are sixteen umpires at the World Series and they represent each of the Little League Regions. Click here to see who the individual umpires are. You can even send them an email message if you'd like. Click here and in the "Select A Team" drop down menu, select "Umpires". I'm sure they would love to hear from you.

One of the umpires, Bill Carter, from Placerville, CA is also the webmaster for the Western Region's web site (www.eteamz.com/llbwest) and has been keeping a daily journal of his own. If you have a chance, visit his site at www.eteamz.com/wsump5 and sign his guestbook!
