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!

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.
