Good story, AC.  It was fun to read the story about Mike "Shooter" Everitt supplying funds for young umpires.  I've known Mike for about five years now and while I had never heard that story, it doesn't surprise me in the least.  He's very involved with CALLING FOR CHRIST and is very active at his local church in Des Moines, Iowa (my brother and him are in a men's group together there).  One tidbit about Mike is that his nickname is due to the fact that he calls everyone "Shooter", because he's just terrible with names, ha.  I guess they always say that umpires should have a short term memory, and "Shooter" definitely has that!
