Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.
Keep your eye on the ball.
Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.
I don’t care if half the league strikes. Those who do will encounter quick retribution. All will be suspended, and I don’t care if it wrecks the league for 10 years. This is the United States of America, and one citizen has as much right to play as another.
Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.
Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.
