Thank you

Thanks to all the upper-level umpires that gave up their Saturday to come help evaluate and instruct at yesterday's scrimmages for the first year umpires. Robert Rodriguez, Don Wangberg, Topo Padilla, Stafford Lehr, Bruce Levering, Kevin Swinhart, Paul Hironaka, and Rod Nishi all spent several hours working with our newest umpires, helping get them ready for their first games.

Center's coach mentioned to me "These are new guys? They're looking pretty good." Guy Anderson commented on the quality he saw on the field. That's a testament to the hard work the students are putting in and the dedication of the instructors who came by to help.

The guys listed above are helping make our umpire group better by ensuring we have a solid rookie class.
