A great piece here about John Hirschbeck.

 

If you only grasp one thing from this article,  I'd imagine it's this thought:   "wow, I don't have a problem in the world!"

 

Great story, great guy, amazing faith, and resolve!

Great article, although I wasn't counting on a side order of tears with my lunch.

Touching story. Good man. Fine umpire. I was in row 11 behind home plate when Barry broke Hammering Hank's home run record. Mr. Hirsbeck was doing an exceptional job working home plate. The game was stopped for 10 minutes. Great baseball moment and John was a part of it
