Excerpt

Every summer for twelve years I played on some sort of baseball team. Within that twelve years many things changed-the leagues, the teams, coaches, teammates, fields, uniforms, and so on. The only thing that remained constant through the years was the rules of the game, which are enforced by umpires. During my years of playing ball I never paid much attention to these "men in blue." The only time I noticed them was when they would make a bad call. Then, one day, I got the chance to umpire a game and at the same time realized what it takes to be an umpire.
