Thank you for your kind words. I am only trying to repay the debt I owe to many of the posters on the HSBBW. I came here as the father of a young ballplayer who was looking to play on the college level. He attained that goal.

And now I remain as a resource for those looking for the advice or opinions of a working umpire. I do not pretend to be a rules expert, but I am a serious student of all the codes I am certified to call.

I try to respond to all questions and treat the basic or complex question the same way. I will try and supply the rule citation to back up my thoughts. Along with the other umpires who frequent this board (Michael Taylor and others) I want no one to feel intimidated to ask questions.....Its the only way for all of us to learn.

Please let me know what I can do for you.
