Anyone Interested In Becoming A Professional Umpire

I Set Very High Standards For Myself And Worked Every Game With The Same Energy And Enthusiasm As If It Were The Seventh Game Of A World Series.

When I Was 14, I Played In A Summer League. One Night The Chief Umpire Asked Me If I Would Like To Try Umpiring. There Was A Little League Tournament Coming Up And He Needed More Umpires Than He Had.

I Have Looked Back On Situations And Thought That I Could Have Handled A Few Differently And Probably Better.

I Learned A Valuable Life Lesson That Summer. You Should Find Something In Life That You Really Enjoy And Seriously Consider Making That Your Life's Work.

No One Respects The Umpire's Job More Than I Do; But, If I Were A Manager, I Would Probably Be Ejected Three Or Four Times A Season Fighting For My Team.
