If you don't think every day is a great day try going without one.

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.

Another way to lose control is to ignore something when you should address it.

I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing.

As a whole, the managers today are different in temperament. Most have very good communication skills and are more understanding of the umpire's job. That doesn't mean they are better managers. It just means that I perceive today's managers a bit differently.

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

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.
