Fix your eye on the ball from the moment the pitcher holds it in his glove. Follow it as he throws to the plate and stay with it until the play is completed. Action takes place only where the ball goes.

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.

An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

To me, baseball is not a game, but a religion.

Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.

It ain't nothing till I call it.
