Chris:

1) Evans has made an effort to tell all students to NOT LOOK TO THE SIDE when you call strikes. At the five week, one week Desert Classic and week end clinics Jim specifically comments tht umpires should not look to the side while calling strikes . . . do what you want Chris . . . it is not what Evans currently teaches.

2) You noted: " . . . but you got to give him some credit....He posted himself on video."

The following quote was taken from my post of 01.02.07: " . . . since you took the time and guts to put a vid on . . . "

Chris, it is becoming obvious too me that we have grown apart over the past 5 or 6 yeasr of posting on what it takes to be a great umpire.

I also "am at the top of my game" . . . I just posted a still shot of me working the Davis System and got GREAT criticism. If I had the technology and knew how, I would certainly put video footage of my plate work.

Regards,
