MLB rule 301C requires all umpires (some teams have an umpire attendant do the job)to prepare (rub) six dozen baseballs with mud for a game.  I don't know of any games where they have had to go get more.  So my answer to you is that all teams or umpires must prepare 72 baseballs for every game.

There ain't no such animal as an "Umpire License". Umpires are registered, and may become certified at different levels, and associations. \n\nWhat do you want to Umpire? softball, baseball, or other sport? also what level? rec league, high school, travel ball, college, pro baseball?\n\nI can give you some names in the VA area, but really need some specifics of what you want. You can always go to a game (type and level you want to work) and after the game ask the Umpires how you can get started. \n\nBefore you do anything though, you ought to have a good psychological evaluation! Why would anyone in their right mind actually want to Umpire? Just kidding of course. I have umpired BB, and SB up to college level, and love it!

It is great to volunteer and it is good to get paid for doing something we like to do. If you do not know anything about the sport, either you should not go there, or you should want to learn about the sport. As a ref, you will have to know the rules of the game. Get a book, watch some games, rent some videos on the subject. Ask the coach what is expected. Tell him how you feel about the opportunity. Ask what is expected of you. If you don't know the game, ask how you can learn and better prepare for the task. Being a referee gives you great power. What the ref calls, is what must be accepted. You must be inherently fair to BOTH sides. Call 'em as you see 'em. Be sure of the call and don't back down. Some folks love to hate the ref and to argue. As asst ref, you have the ref as backup. He will back you up if he believes you know what you are talking about. Seek out other refs and get advise, before the job comes to you. Go in there with confidence that you can do this to the best of your abilities. Good Luck!

Do you mean Vampire? Don't bother. They are many in Indian cricket. Search for BCCI members on Google or Yahoo.\n\nOn a more serious note, Mumbai Criciket Committee has an Umpires Sub Committee. Try getting in touch with them.\n\nMumbai Cricket Association\nWankhede Stadium,\nD. Road, Churchgate,\nMumbai - 400 020.\nPhone : 022-2811795/2817876/2819910\nGrams : BOMCRIC Mumbai\nFax :022-2817851\n\nPlus, there are severe problems: Do have a look at the below:\n\nIn India, the system exists mainly on paper. To qualify for the basic level, which currently comprises 108 umpires (down from 130 due to retirements), candidates have to pass an entrance test, both written and oral. Twenty of the umpires thus selected then qualify for the Indian Elite panel, members of which are entitled to umpire in major domestic matches, and also get a shot at making it to the panel of six who officiate as TV umpires and stand in ODIs in the country. \n\nIt is in the implementation that the cracks appear. Ranji Trophy matches are usually awarded in an ad hoc manner - by the joint secretary of the cricket board, based on assessments made during previous matches. Two former Test players, Maninder Singh and Yashpal Sharma, who took the trouble of taking the exams to qualify, left disillusioned. Maninder says he couldn't be bothered to "butter up" board officials to get games. "Umpires shouldn't be left at the mercy of board officials who don't know anything about umpiring."

Major League umpires earn $100,000 to $300,000 per year depending on their experience. Minor league umpires earn a drastically lower salary.\n\nSee here: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umpire_%28baseball%29

The certification process is about 8 - 10 meetings in both High School and ASA. When that's completed you take an exam. You can't do this on line. Umpiring is not something to be taken lightly, there is a lot of time and effort that must be put in to be a competent umpire. These web sites will help you. \nhttp://www.asasoftball.com/\nhttp://www.nfhs.org/ScriptContent/Index.cfm\nGood luck

If you mean how many handle a standard game, there are four. One at first base, one at second base, one at third and one calling the balls and strikes behind home plate. \n\nIf you want to know the total number of umpires working at any one time, that would be 60 per night as there are 30 MLB teams or a maximum of 15 games going on in a day.

The link is for the pro level, but if you want to do little league, high school, or college i'm not sure. You might try a local school district office they might have some info.

Good luck finding this. Most sports services like ESPN or NFL.com list only the college experience.

Let colleges know you're interested in playing for them.  If you're not batting .600 with 17 HR and 57 RBI in 20 games, scouts may or may not make it out to your games.  The suggestion of sending schools tapes of your play is excellent.  Also, you can apply to the schools that you would like to go to after checking up on whether they're looking for someone with your baseball talents as well.\n\nIf you're a pitcher who can throw gas, you'll get attention.  If you can bat as I mentioned above, you will, too.  Also, if you're a good catcher with a decent bat, that's the fastest way up the food chain.\n\nIf you're looking to play ball as a way of getting through college, remember that most teams don't hand out many full baseball scholarships.  Last I checked, a team had 11.7 scholarships in D-I, so most of their players get half or quarter rides.\n\nGood luck with your play.  And if a pro scout takes interest in you, take interest in him.  You can go to college anytime... :)

Start going to church. Take classes at a college on religion. Read the holy text of whatever religion you plan on becoming the priest of.
