Commandments:

#1: Keep your eye on the ball.

#2: Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forgive and forget.

#3: Avoid sarcasm. Do not insist on the last word.

#4: Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.

#5: Hear only things you should hear - be deaf to others.

#6: Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.

#7: Watch your language.

#8: Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.

#9: Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing.

10#: No matter what your opinion of another umpire, never make an adverse comment regarding him. To do so is despicable and ungentlemanly.
