To the "T"
I, too, have actually learned quite a bit from Tim. His posts have been informative both from a rules point of view and about how umpires are perceived by certain actions. The only times I have lit into him were when he puts down other umpires because of the level of ball they do or organization they work for. For me, it was important to have the support of my fellow blues when just beginning in order for me to continue. It is tough enough on the field many times without having people that are supposed to be on the same "team" slamming you, too. However, given all the advice I have been given, there are two people that have helped me the most: the person who directly mentored me, and Tim C.
