  • Dennis Williams: Working a Small Little Tournament in Williamsport, PA in 2020

    WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA: if you’re a listener of this show, then you know about the modest little tournament that takes place there every summer! I could not be happier in this episode to introduce you to my friend Dennis Williams, who has been selected for the honor of serving as a volunteer umpire for the 2020 Little League Baseball World Series. We talk about his umpiring beginnings and his journey as a Little League volunteer umpire, and then get into a lot of details about the World Series and what his expectations and hopes are. Dennis is a distinguished umpire and an outstanding representative of the values of Little League, and you will hear the excitement and gratitude in his every word during this episode. Enjoy!

        • Bobby Tassone: What it's like to be a Minor League Baseball Umpire

          Carolina League umpire Bobby Tassone visits with us to share his story about making The Decision to pursue umpiring as a career and his subsequent trip through umpire school and the Minor Leagues. We discuss what life is like for him as a Minor League Baseball umpire, some special game opportunities he's had, and learn about his experiences at Spring Training. You're really going to enjoy listening to Bobby—he has a real heart for teaching and is a humble guy who repeatedly points to the mentors that have helped him along the way.
