Anyone who has not believed that Jim Evans is the greatest umpiring teacher in the entire history of baseball will have his oppinion altered when reading John Muller's articles.
I had the good fortune to spend a day with John just after he'd returned from The Classic. If the enthusiasm he displayed that day is any indication of the excellence that's encountered there, it is something we should all consider taking in at some point in our umpiring careers. What amazed me was how firm a grasp John had on the nuances of our avocation with very little on field experience. In my mind this should be attributed to the instruction John received in Arizona.
