OTTAWA- Giving up their time and giving back to a sport is something that umpires in baseball do across diamonds all over Canada. Baseball Canada Umpires will take this approach to a whole new level as the Umpires Committee partners with KidSport™ Canada on a unique fundraising initiative. Starting in May, the Baseball Canada Umpires Committee will be asking each umpire to donate one game fee to KidSport, an organization that ‘removes financial barriers that prevent kids from playing organized sport.’
