I'll just edit the whole thing, since it no longer makes any sense.

Psst, Steve....

It's Soul Asylum, not Tom Petty, on your song lyrics.

Wow, you're right. I thought it was Tom Petty, and I even downloaded it on my Tom Petty compilation. I absolutely love the song, and I've heard it for years. Somehow I got the idea it was Tom Petty.

I must have confused it with the Petty song, Runaway Trains.

Bob Davidson certainly has a penchant for being overly officious, but I don't think any of us are in a position to consider him a terrible umpire. Now, Angel Hernandez......................

I dunno. He's probably just the right amount of officious.

Im a very young umpire, and have been taught how to umpire since I was basically born. My dad umpired baseball for what seems like forever, and used to work with Todd Tichenor(AAA ump, vacation fill-in). I am thinking about attending umpire school after I graduate from college, and would like to know where I can get some more info on it. I would really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!!
