I'm not sure what the policy is on discussing articles on the paid portion of Officiating.com. Please read Alan's entire article to understand what really goes on at a MLB level umpire's clinic and compare it to my comments.

Make your group's reservation today. Umpire Associations from NM, CO, OK, AR and LA as well as North, Central and South Texas will send their interested members. Most have far more experience than me. The choice to keep coming back and how often will be left to YOU. Best wishes and have a great spring season.
