I didn't mention Harry because I was citing an example to illustrate my point regarding educators.

I didn't say you couldn't teach, I said that "doing" and "teaching" involve different skill sets. Some have one, some have the other, some have both. (Like you and me)

Mr. Umpire...we are good, aren't we I was kidding about the Evans thing...it's just fun to have someone to chat back and forth with. And that goes for Kevin, too...

On average, what, 150-200 guys go to the two pro schools...out of 250K umpires in the US? I like my chances...and if it doesn't work, I'll have the same attitude on my pro career...I never, ever want to say, "I could have done it. If only I had tried." I tried once, and I'm trying again.

Bob,
Again I wish you all the success. I am curious to know, however, if you have had any discussions with college assignors to get their input? I would like to think that your amatuer school would have some credibility/respectibility with these guys. I'm not saying you currently don't, just wondering. I have attended many 3 day camps where college assignors come to evaluate talent. If I was to attend, I would want to be seen. JMTC
