How did you get so good?

[Gee]

Eric, you said:

"When it comes to knowing the rules of the game, Joe is........like alot of umpires that have been doing it for 20 years, and have been doing it wrong!"

Then you said:

"Pete makes a great point. The more games you do, the better you will perform. Who would argue with that?"

Wouldn't that be a contradiction?

All of the information now available, such as J/R, JEA, PBUC, the WEB, clinics etc are great resources for the new AND old ump, however the defining point is the person himself.

Joe above, doesn't want to get into that and never improves.
He just complains about the politics in his association for holding him back.

The guy that wants to move up, takes advantage of all these resources and moves up the ladder. G.
