The Northern California Umpires Association is a group of independent contractors providing baseball and softball umpire services since 1944 in San Francisco and neighboring cities. The NCUA provides umpires for high school, middle school, college, and adult leagues. Our group of softball umpires operate under the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) charter and guidelines. Our group of baseball umpires apply National Federation of High School (NFHS), PONY Baseball/Softball, and Little League rules according to the league's affiliation.
It is with
regret we report that NCUA baseball member George Gruber passed away
recently.
George was an enthusiastic and dedicated umpire,
always seeking to improve his skills. Those of us who had the pleasure
of working with George know the energy he brought to each game. Our
best wishes go out to his wife Alice and son Christian, a former
ballplayer at Lowell High School.
