Hardback. If an umpire could steal the show in a Major League game, the author might well have been the one to do it. Tough but fair, in his thirty years as a professional umpire he took on some of baseball's great umpire baiters, while ejecting any number of the game's elite - once tearing a hamstring in the process. This book tells his story. Num Pages: 240 pages, 16 photographs, 1 illustration. BIC Classification: BM; WSJT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 5487 x 3556 x 22. Weight in Grams: 435.
