George Will Column Praises Umpires

[HugoTafurst]

At the time I ordered As We See EM I ordered a few other used books about Umpiring.

Yesterday, I started Please Don't Kill the Umpire by John Massaro.
After reading the Preface and 1st Chapter, I'm not impressed and pretty disappointed. If it gets better, I'll revise this post. If it doesn't, I may not finish the book....

I ordered The Best Seat In Baseball, But You Have to Stand, and I'm about a third of the way through it. It's an entertaining book for me because it shows how different it was to umpire in the 70s (a lot more guys were breaking ribs and collarbones before the hard shell CP), but also how some things have stayed the same (the players and coaches complain constantly).

I ordered that one, too. Haven't gotten to it yet...
