Umpiring Politics

[Kevin Finnerty]

Speak for yourself; I disagree.

In the course of my life, virtually all of the standing up and speaking out that I have done is with respect to how things are for others or for everyone and not just for myself. Specifically, I'm not a veteran, but I speak out often on behalf of veterans and complain often and openly about their shoddy treatment. It has nothing at all to do with me. I also help many individual veterans on a regular basis and have for many years.

In umpiring, I take what I get, irrespective of what is deserved, and I make my analyses and judgments and illustrations for other purposes than complaining about my own plight.
