I know many might think I need to get a life (my wife is now jumping up and down yelling "I think you do, I think you do")...but I just really liked his book the best (of the umpire's books) (and I've read most of them), and, in a sense, anything he said after the publication of the book adds a chapter to that book.
Sadly, no other chapters will be added. (sigh) Thanks...

Take a tip from your wife....she's right!
Mine is always on my butt about being on-line too much.
Eric Gregg came to my association picnic in 1998. He regaled us with stories, had lunch with us, and played in our softball game. During his story telling time, he was of course asked about "the game" and what was with his strike zone. He told us he was trying to have a fair zone and it got out of hand. He told us about receiving death threats and hate mail from Braves fans. Classy group. But he was able to laugh about it, and admitted it was a bad game for him.
