Not What You Know, But Who
In my first year of umpiring, I did the bases with the assignor of the State Babe Ruth tournaments. He liked how I handled by myself. So when an umpire got injured at a District tourney, he called on me to do a State game with him. Did I deserve to be there? Certainly, not based on experience or knowledge. Sometimes, it helps to be in the right place at the right time.
