That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.

Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.
