The Proof

"I refuse to compromise my integrity."

I have worked with Rei several times over the years. I have a great respect for him.

Rei's schedule of games (both high school and college) has grown over the years because he is EXACTLY what he says he is.

I have worked with Rei (he was my BU) when there was an attempted steal of third. From an adjusted "C" Rei called a guy safe that appeared to be out by 10' to 15' . . . as the defensive coach started to approach my fellow crew mate he said: "Coach he has to tag the guy for an out, ask your third baseman if he made the tag?"

Even a quick look at F5 confirmed that there was no tag . . .

Could Rei have called the out . . . sure. But his integrity is so ingrained that would have been totally unlike him.

As I said earlier . . . times and things change . . . can we?

Regards,
