"I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring."
Sports
"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."
Night
"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."
Work
"Most plays that are missed by the umpire are caused by the umpire not reading those cues early enough and making the proper adjustments."
Reading
"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."
Enthusiasm
"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."
Management
"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."
Work
"Professional managers, coaches, and players have a right to question an umpire's decision if they do it in a professional manner. When they become personal, profane, or violent, they have crossed the line and must be dealt with accordingly."
Decision-Making
"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."
Sports
"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."
