| The 10 Commandments of Umpiring
by Ford C. Frick (1949) |
|
| # |
Commandment |
| 1 |
Keep your eye on the ball. |
| 2 |
Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive. |
| 3 |
Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word. |
| 4 |
Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling. |
| 5 |
Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others. |
| 6 |
Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound. |
| 7 |
Watch your language. |
| 8 |
Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on. |

Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing. |
| 10 |
No matter what your opinion of another umpire, never make an adverse comment regarding him. To do so is despicable and ungentlemanly. |
