The road from umpire school to the major leagues is full of roadblocks and detours, a journey that only a few complete.
Bruce Weber dives into that journey, attending umpire school, traveling with minor league crews, working games himself from little league to big league spring training, and interviewing not only professional umpires but players, managers, and a former commissioner.
It’s a fascinating peak behind the curtain from a fan's point of view.
From Dale's list on inspirational stories from Major League Baseball.
