The North Georgia Regional Umpires clinic was held at Emory university yesterday. A few local association awards were given out, but two Umpires were given a very coveted award. One of these is a regular poster on this board.
Inducted into the Georgia ASA Hall of Fame were Tim Smith, and our very own Steve Marcus, (AtlUmpSteve).
Three nomination letters were read for Steve, and the record of service for Georgia ASA was very impressive. Umpires don't often recieve the recognition they should for the work they perform, but being honored in this way by your peers is quite an accomplishment. Steve joins just a few from Georgia who have been thusly honored. Mrs AtlUmpSteve and sons were on hand to witness the award (I believe that was a surprise).
Congratulations AtlUmpSteve!

You can see Steve in action on the home page. (yeah that may just be his "best side")
