Game management is accomplished by staying constantly alert and then reading and reacting to potential problem situations before they materialize. It all boils down to paying attention to details.

I learned a valuable life lesson that summer. You should find something in life that you really enjoy and seriously consider making that your life's work.

If you don't think every day is a great day try going without one.

Minor league umpires are evaluated in their respective leagues each year and rated numerically. This enables umpires to know where they stand and helps them make prudent career decisions.

Our students learn more in 30 days than one could learn in 30 years without our training. To really maximize your potential as an umpire, you need to get a solid foundation as soon as you can.

Most plays that are missed by the umpire are caused by the umpire not reading those cues early enough and making the proper adjustments.

Another way to lose control is to ignore something when you should address it.

I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring.

I attribute my success to my mental approach to the game. I have always been a serious student of umpiring. I enjoy studying rules, situations, and positioning.

I have looked back on situations and thought that I could have handled a few differently and probably better.

I set very high standards for myself and worked every game with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it were the seventh game of a World Series.

I'm dealing with a lot of scary things. I think you have to react to them. And you either laugh at them or you go insane.

There has never been a meaningful life built on easy street.

All's well that ends well.

There are six-million shots in the game of pool.

What may seem depressing or even tragic to one person may seem like an absolute scream to another person, especially if he has had between four and seven beers.

As you train and as you develop your talents, you do get better, hopefully, or you get out of the business.

The border between editing and ghostwriting is, at its extremes, a bit porous. An editor really improves and sometimes restructures a manuscript and suggests changes.

It is not enough to be happy, it is also necessary that others not be.

An anarchist is like an undercover agent who plays the game of Reason in order to undercut the authority of Reason (Truth, Honesty, Justice and so on).

Nature abhors the old.
