It's an annual rite of passage. Every spring, baseball players of all ages launch a new season full of hits, runs, errors, and lots of life lessons playing the game they love. They hustle, they throw, they bust their tails to win. But what about the guys who call the games? Who are the umpires? Where do they come from? And why on Earth would anyone want to become one? Veteran umpire David Workman takes you through the story of the guys behind the masks, into the little known world of the men in blue - not the Major League guys, but the ones who work your son's games. In this unique exposé, you'll discover: - Who becomes an umpire and why - What it takes to get started and move up - Weird rules that even the best umpires get wrong - Why certain rules are different between high school, college, and pro - Baseball myths you thought were true but aren't - What umpires and coaches really talk about during arguments - Why umpires hate ejections - Funny stories and anecdotes from years behind the plate ...and more! So pull up a chair because it's...Reader Up!

David Workman has spent over 25 years officiating high school sports: 19 basketball, 11 baseball (including 3 years in NCAA Division II), 6 football, and 1 year of volleyball and has been a clinic leader and trainer for up-and-coming baseball umpires. He lives in St. Louis with his wife and three kids and is the author of the novel Absolute Authority, which has nothing whatsoever to do with sports.
