Managers Have Very Tough Jobs. I Always

Most Plays That Are Missed By The Umpire Are Caused By The Umpire Not Reading Those Cues Early Enough And Making The Proper Adjustments.

I Personally Developed The Academy Training Program. All Our Training Is Based On Solid Educational Principles. We Present The Material In Four Training Formats: Lecture, Demonstration, Drill, And Implementation.

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.

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.

The Florida State League Was Considered The Top A-league Back Then. You Played In The Spring Training Parks Of Major League Teams, Traveled Throughout Some Great Cities In Florida, And The Pay Was The Best In A-ball.
