Text | [from an interview of Billy Quinn on umpiring] In the International League the umpire gets $250 a month and has to pay his own expenses out of it, hotel bills, car fair and the like. In the American League [sic] and the National League he gets $200 a month and has his expenses paid for him. So you can see that if he wants to he can lay by nearly the whole of his month’s pay. The season lasts about six months, and that would leave him a thousand dollars or more clear profit. The other six months of the year he can work at something else. |
