| Dustin and Junior | |
| view full size | |
Junior has been an umpire for 28 years. He loves it. He loves it so much, he is still umpiring years after his kids have stopped playing.
Junior loves to be a teacher. The best part of umpiring, for him, is to be behind the plate, so he can be “the man” calling the balls and strikes, and teaching young batters and watching them learn. And you can see it when he umpires – coaching the young ones on their position, encouraging batters and pitchers alike.
His youngest son, Dustin, 12, loves to watch his dad umpire. Dustin says his dad is “the best umpire in Beckley!” Junior’s other three are grown, but he still loves coming to the ball field and calling games. He calls himself “the biggest kid out there”. And he shows it in his love for the game.
