Book excerpt: You want to scream, Kill the umpire! Now, should you? Well, of course you shouldn't kill the umpire---that would be murder. But should you want to? Not nearly as often as you think! Baseball rules literacy (BRL) is poor even among fans, and worse among parents who are only at the ballpark because Johnny's too young to drive. That's because baseball rule books are boring. The Kill the Umpire Handbook: 101 Questions You'd Like to Ask the Umpire is anything but. Patrick Sullivan has umpired at every level of amateur baseball, from T-ball to college, over the past forty-something years. He's heard a lot of talk on, or from, the far side of the backstop. He learned his very first year---long time to remember; maybe even his very first game---never to answer even one question or to try to shut down inaccurate talk. While making his living in journalism and public relations, he got a different idea. How about an interesting, even fun, handbook---A Q&A based on actual conversations with fans away from the ballpark, questions he's heard through the fence but had to ignore, and fans he's heard talking to each other who sound as wise as owls but whose actual BRL isn't worth a hoot? In the years since his first draft, every single baseball call that generated controversy in media or online is something you would have already known the right and wrong of...if you had read this book. And yes, you will get the Infield Fly Rule!

Download or read book Dean of Umpires written by Bob Luke and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hall of Fame umpire Bill McGowan controlled the field of play as much with his personality as with the rulebook; his respected 30-year career, including 2,532 consecutive games, was among the longest in baseball history. McGowan was the home plate umpire in the first-ever American League pennant playoff game, Cleveland versus Boston in 1948. Famous for his sense of humor, great dramatics, and wild gestures, he was known to turn a strike into a ball if he thought a player deserved a break, or to eject half a team if they annoyed him. He promoted such players as Goose Goslin, Moe Berg, Stanley "Bucky" Harris, and Jimmy Dykes; wrote articles and newspaper columns; and founded a school for umpires in College Park, Maryland, which continues today as the Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School. This richly illustrated biography gives an intimate view of this talented umpire, from his birth in 1896 and long marriage to his death from diabetes in 1954. With research including interviews with former players as well as family members, the work provides a wealth of anecdotes and insights into his profession. The textbook McGowan wrote for his students is included as an appendix.
