Dr. Phillips Little League: Umpire
During the season, there are typically about 500 umpire slots that needed to be filled for both baseball and softball. Without umpires, the games could not be played. Dr. Phillips Little League wishes to recognize and thank everyone who umpired this season! We do appreciate your efforts!
