"After one year in the Texas League, the American League bought the rights to my contract. They optioned me back to the Texas League for the 1970 season."

"I have looked back on situations and thought that I could have handled a few differently and probably better."

"Managers have very tough jobs. I always respected their job but demanded respect in return."
Job
"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
"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."
Sports
"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."
