As A Youngster, I Played In Little

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.

Game Management Is Accomplished By Staying Constantly Alert And Then Reading And Reacting To Potential Problem Situations Before They Materialize. It All Boils Down To Paying Attention To Details.

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.

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

The Vast Majority Of People Who Watch Baseball Can Properly Call 95% Of All Plays That Happen On The Field. My Job Is To Teach You How To Call The Other 5%.
