Umpire School 2005
Harry Wendelstedt School of Professional Umpiring
"Tomorrow's Major League umpires pass through these gates today."
January 2 - February 9 2005 I spent my winter in Daytona Beach, FL attending Major League umpire school. Here is our class picture. Along with the 130 students (white shirts), there were 15 Minor League umpires and 5 Major League Umpires on staff (red coats).
At the end of the five week camp, I was awarded the school's Most Outstanding Student Award. Here is a picture of me accepting  the trophy from MLB umpire Hunter Wendelstedt and MLB umpires Paul Nauert, Jerry Lane, and Gerry Davis look on.
