Adam Beck is a great umpire and even better person. He is from Central Florda and the local HS Association as well as the Rec Leagues that he has worked for in the past will miss him, but wish him nothing but the best. He will make an excellent addition to the crew.

That day was a ton of fun. Jim played a little first base then argued some calls and Skyler tossed him and they got the pictures on Jim's blog.

Skyler was in my crew he worked his tail off everyday and deserved the job. I'm happy for him. As goes for all the guys hired its not going to be an easy road but they put in the work and deserve to be there.
