I Have Looked Back On

Looking Back On Those Games, I Probably Hustled Out Of Position As Much As I Hustled Into Position Since I Really Never Had Any Real Training. I Was Working On Instincts Alone.

As A Youngster, I Played In Little League, Pony League, And All Sorts Of Amateur Baseball Programs Growing Up.

During The Final Two Weeks Of Training, Our Students Work Simulated Game Situations In Which Our Staff Members Role-play As Players, Managers, And Coaches. They Are Given Immediate Feedback Following Each Camp Game.

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.
