My Dad Was A Carpenter And I

Managers Have Very Tough Jobs. I Always Respected Their Job But Demanded Respect In Return.

Umpires, Like Players, Are Expected To Show Constant Improvement Each Season And At Each Level. Inconsistent Plate Work And The Inability To Handle Situations Are Probably The Two Biggest Problems That Minor League Umpires Face.

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.

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

If You Don't Think Every Day Is A Great Day Try Going Without One.
