The Sashman Speaks

So lets see.. I am still fighting and struggling and trying to figure things out but yet there is soo much that I am still confused about. I can't seem to figure out how to continue to be soo open and caring and wanting for my friends to be happy and to do what I can do be a good friend but yet why is it that I sometimes never receive the same in return??

I have great friends and I have people that I know care about and want for me to be happy, and take my friendship as special as I take theirs, yet there are times when I just wish I could have just a bit more in return, is that too much to ask?

Is it too much to ask to be treated with dignity and respect the same as I treat you? I mean when did we take for granted how we are treated and treat other people? Is there something wrong with me? was I taught differently? what did I do?

Sooo an important thing I learned today, which is to just to the best I can and not to let the instructors or anyone else get me down and discouraged about my abilities as an umpire. I quickly realized once I got down here at school that I didn't posses the physical abilities to be a big league umpire, and thats okay because I am doing the best that I can, and in the end I am okay with that fact.

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring. Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be. Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do. I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best. One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

A New Hall of Fame Class

As a young kid growing up I grew up on the heroes of the game, Ruth, Dimaggio, Mantle, Williams etc. As I continued to grow up and watch the game of baseball grow and mature like I did, I was always excited to see what new legends were going to get to be immortalized into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I've been lucky enough to visit the Hall of Fame on multiple occasions including as a kid with my dad, as a member of my high school baseball team on two occasions. To now watch as more players that I grew up watching in the late 80's 90's and early 2000's it just reminds me of how wonderful this game truly and really is. I'll end this quick post with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite movie, Field of Dreams, "
