Mr. Umpire...we are good, aren't we I was kidding about the Evans thing...it's just fun to have someone to chat back and forth with. And that goes for Kevin, too...

On average, what, 150-200 guys go to the two pro schools...out of 250K umpires in the US? I like my chances...and if it doesn't work, I'll have the same attitude on my pro career...I never, ever want to say, "I could have done it. If only I had tried." I tried once, and I'm trying again.
