MiLB jobs
 

The count so far would indicate that Evans Grads (ahem...including my son) took about 70% of the openings.

Matt will be working in the Arizona League.

Congrats!

Were you a pro school grad yourself?

Gasp....does that mean that the MiLB doesn't have age restrictions? :eek:

Doesn't the MiLB know that your son won't be qualified until he's at least 25? :D

Big <b>Ups</b> to your son, Garth. Hope to see him on tv in the Bigs one day.

No. Didn't take the opportunity. I started in 72 and had a couple of great mentors. I attend a very early pro clinic and began working college, as I like to say, before you had to be good, in the late 70's. I've also had the opportunity to do some minor league fill -n work, but nothing steady or of great significance.

I've attended several college pro clinics including the ABUA camp and a Gerry Davis camp.

But the highlight of that part of my career was attending an Evans Desert Classic back when it was a 7 and half day affair. What a fantastic experience.

My son started umpiring at 14 and by 20 worked the high schoool state tournament.

He attended Evans this year, graduated as an honor grad, went to PBUC and now he's getting ready to work in Arizona. Needless to say, I'm a very proud Dad. We're going to work a 19U select tournament together before he leaves.

Garth:

Congratulations Dad. I bet that you are just pleased as punch as well as you should be. Do not ever stop letting him know who is Number One Mentor is though. I hope he makes it all the way.

MTD, Sr.

To heck with you Garth! :D :D :D :D

Please tell Matt I wish him all the luck!

Oh all right, Congrats to you too!

I'm surprised with the performance from the Wendelstedt grads this year. Twenty students from each school were selected and fifteen jobs were up for grabs. Only five from Wendelstedt made it... Harry told this years class that this year was the worst class he has ever seen. Can you believe that? Maybe that’s why the annual banquet was canceled this year.

[QUOTE=Bulldog]There have been additional openings since PBUC...the last count I heard was 19 openings..14 were taken by Evans Grads.

I saw Harry's students for almost a week after almost three weeks of school. I was surprised they were labeled the worst class, simply because it is hard to label a large group, but I only saw 3 or 4 students there who I would be willing to do a JV game with. All the instructors knew it was a weak group. So all Jimmy's supporters enjoy it, but basically it is the luck of the draw. Both schools do a great job of teaching.

And I'm a proud graduate of the worst class in Brinkman/Froemming history! Yea, worst classes!!!

Q: What do you call the guy who graduated dead-last from med school? ;)

LMan,

A: Doctor.

JM

Reminds me of something my grandfather used to say. Whenever someone would go on about what their doctor told them, he would say: "Remember, 50% of all doctors finished in the bottom half of their class."

Attaboy, Garth !

The kid didn't learn all that stuff at those great clinics.

Good job ! :)

Based on some recent interactions during the last month or so with me and members of my family:

I call him "My doctor".:D
