After his freshman year he said, "Dad, I love baseball, but I'm not going to be able to keep up much longer." (His self evaluation was correct.) "So, Dad, can I umpire?"

That is outstanding! IMHO, passion is sometimes measured when a person knows the initial dream may not be option and then focuses on another part of that dream that requires even more mental "tools" in order to be effective.

Umpiring is the best seat in the house. Not my opinion.........just fact.
