Hey guys, just read an article here in Canada that explain why I have not seen regular contributor, Ump-24 here for a while.
Seems he went and got him self into pro ball!!  .  
He's working the GCL this year. Not bad for a kid from small town Canada.

Cool story.  Another young guy living the dream.  It makes all of us who got into umpiring later in life a little jealous.

I, for one, was missing him.  I had a feeling he had taken this route.  I couldn't remember whether he had finished school or not.  For several years he had been saying he would be heading to school.  Good luck to him!

Congrats to him!

He graduated from university last spring (2013) so...if things go according to plan and follow the due course, he should be stepping on an MLB field sometime in 2023 or 2024...

And we can all say we knew him when. Sort of :)

So that puts him in the same league as his best friend who turned pro last year. Now they will be competing against each other
