Happy Birthday!

And I appreciate the plug, because I ordered it last week when they had the ad in Referee. I'm glad I didn't blow $20.00 I could have blown on gear I don't really need.

go to...
either Umpire Training Conducted by Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring and find store.

or Umpire's Resource Center and find store.

Jim Evans wrote it (with some help) and I bet it is great. It's on my list to buy.

Tuss,

What does this book cover that the Redbook or CCA manual does not cover?

I'm not Tuss, but basically this book covers everything about umpire behavior, movement, responsibilites, actions, objectives, calls and mechanics from the time an umpire arrives at a game until he leaves.

This book is to the redbook what the JEA is to the rulebook.
